Who said he was "averse" to it?  He was provided the correct evidence and he corrected himself.  That's how things should work around here.

That, and a gracious admission of error is the way "things should work around here." Rather than sarcasm and rudeness as posted by Griffiths:

"Oh, huff, huff, huff. Yes, I get that you're gonna demagogue this. "Such a fundamental mistake"? Instead of dying in early 1964, the brother died in early 1965, and instead of Domingo giving hedged testimony after his brother's death, he markedly changed his story after his brother's death a year later. That's hardly an egregious, fundamental mistake."

Sounds pretty averse to me. He could have just wrote 'mistake corrected' and left it at that. Griffers is a rude, arrogant pig You don't agree..~sshrug~

"When did Domingo ever make a positive identification of Oswald as the gunman?" In 1967 in a C-SPAN interview.

Perhaps that was rude, but so was this.

Gosh,well it obviously didn't occur to you, did it. If it had you wouldn't have made such a fundamental mistake. Perhaps a little more research and a little less plagiarism is in order. It would have been "a relatively modest error" for an amateur forum member to make, yes. But as a writer you have a far greater responsibility..how many thousands of people have read that mistake in your book and then gone on to state it as fact to thousands upon thousands more on forums and websites? Who am I? Well, what I'm not is someone who writes books for a living and claims to be a JFK assassination expert as you do. Neither do I spread incorrect factoids in books and all over the internet, as you do. You recently made a posting entitled "Poor Scholarship on Display: Larry Sturdivan's Book "The JFK Myths" so perhaps you shouldn't whine so much when someone picks you up on your mistakes. Is it OK for you to criticise other authors work whilst your work is off limits?
Glad you joined the forum, perhaps we can help you improve your research skills and become a better writer.

C-SPAN didn't even exist until 1979.

That was precipitated by Griffith posting: "Gosh, that never occurred to me. Who are you? Have you been lurking and just waiting to huff and puff over a relatively modest error?"
But why the hell am I explaining myself to you? Who the hell do you think you are, picking members up on their manners!! I really don't give a flying f*** what you think.

You're the one who decided to go ballistic over rudeness.  Apparently you get to be as rude as you like.

My mistake: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4904439/user-clip-domingo-benavides-interview

Benavides told Eddie Barker in 1967 that now he was sure it was Oswald, but he never made an identification.  They should have asked him what happened between 1964 and 1967 to make him "sure".
