JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: Acoustic Evidence
« Last post by John Corbett on Today at 11:53:13 AM »The sources I cite in my reply refute every single criticism presented in the article you cite, Dale Myers' article. You'd know this if you'd bothered to read the links I provided. If you had just read my article on the acoustical evidence, you'd know that Myers' article is woefully inadequate and misleading.
They disagree with Myers. They don't refute Myers. Myers got it right. Your sources got it wrong. Not surprising you gravitated toward them.

And for the benefit of other readers, be advised that Dale Myers' research has been proven to be erroneous, if not fraudulent. As just one example, to make his ridiculous SBT trajectory analysis work, Myers falsely assumes that Connally's back wound was 3.0 cm wide, when in fact it was only 1.5 cm wide, the same width as JFK's rear head entry wound.
MTG has a very strange idea of what constitutes proof. Repeating the same myths over and over again is not proof.

For a good critique of some of the problems with Myers' bogus research, see the uber-cautious Pat Speer's demotion of Myers' SBT nonsense:

Not at all surprising that one knucklehead would cite another knucklehead.Quote
Here is just a little bit of what Speers says about Myer's SBT simulation:
. . . his deception regarding the single-bullet theory is simply inexcusable. He would have to know that when people see computer simulations they believe the proportions are consistent from angle to angle—otherwise it’s just a cartoon. By changing the body shape of Kennedy to accommodate the bullet trajectory through his body, and by shrinking Connally 20% or more to accommodate the bullet trajectory in the car, Myers moved on up to the high rent neighborhood of Thomas Canning: deliberate deceptionville.
A claim without proof.Quote
For a critique of Myers' error-riddled hatchet job on the Tippit shooting, see my article "Did Oswald Shoot Tippit?"
If your critique is on par with all the other stuff I've read from you over the past 35 years, it's not worth the time it would take to read it.Quote
It says much that you would rely on someone like Myers to get your information on the acoustical evidence. Have you even read the studies that the BBN and Queen's College acoustical scientists submitted to the HSCA on the acoustical evidence?
Myers obviously hasn't read them, because he doesn't say a word about any of the evidences they present, such as the windshield-distortion correlations, the timing-movement correlations, and the presence of N-waves and their echoes in the correct order and timing. Nor does Myers say a word about the NRC/NAS panel's admissions about the timing-movement correlations and their own finding of a high probability (77.7%) that the 144.9 impulse pattern is gunfire from the grassy knoll.
A lot of technobabble that proves nothing. There was no shooter on the GK. Anyone who believes that has been hoodwinked by junk science. The Dictabelt recording in question wasn't even made during the shooting. The acoustics "evidence" is all the CTs have going for them and they are going to cling to it no matter how much it has been debunked.
