I'm sure it's a well-done article for what it is - essentially a CT legal brief - but this is what I call the Cliff Varnell Syndrome. Too many qualified experts have examined the evidence and reached different conclusions to use the term "IMPOSSIBLE."
Name a single pro-WC expert who has explained how a bullet exiting the shirt slits could have avoided tearing through the tie knot or how it could have magically weaved around the knot and nicked the knot's outer surface. Name one. We both know you can't. JFK's clothing does indeed prove the SBT is impossible, but you just won't admit it.
You guys have been ducking this fact for decades, just like you keep ducking other major facts, such as the drastic conflict between the autopsy brain photos and the skull x-rays, the drastic conflict between the autopsy report and the skull x-rays and photos, the markedly different drafts of the autopsy report, the fragments on the rear outer table of the skull on the skull x-rays, etc., etc.
I'm not going to dive into an endless debate, but there are just too many variables to be using the term impossible. The emergency tracheotomy seems to me enough of a variable to be make all speculation about the tie little more than a guessing game.
A lame dodge and copout. There is no "guessing" or "speculation" here. We know where the slits were. We know where the tie knot was during the motorcade. We know where the nick on the knot was. We know the nick was superficial and that the fabric lining below the nick was undamaged. We know there was no hole through the tie in any part of the tie. We have photographic evidence that establishes all of these facts.
The problem is you simply can't bring yourself to face cold, hard physical evidence that destroys your version of the shooting.
As I always used to say to the medical and forensic pseudo-experts at the Ed Forum, if you're confident of the quality of your work, submit it to a peer-reviewed forensic journal.
Another lame dodge and copout. As I said before when you made this argument, you guys still reject the clear evidence that JFK was hit before Z190, even though Olson and Turner established this in an article published in the
Journal of Forensic Sciences, and even though their finding was confirmed by the HSCA's photographic experts.
Furthermore, you don't need to be a medical or forensic expert to readily and easily see that there is no way on this planet that a bullet exiting the shirt slits could have missed tearing through the tie knot, and that there is no way such a bullet could have magically weaved around the knot like a guided missile and nicked the outer surface of the knot. You just need two functioning eyes, common sense, and objectivity.
I also see that you don't even mention JFK's brace, which seems a curious omission.
A very curious argument. More reaching and straining. What does the back brace have to do with the throat wound, the clothing holes, and the tie, and the fact that there was no hole through the tie? The brace was nowhere near his back wound and was even farther from his throat wound. Explain to me how the back brace could possibly explain the fact that JFK's tie was centered in the middle of his collar band, that at least half of the tie knot was centered directly over the shirt slits, and that no hole was made through the tie knot or through any other part of the tie.
You guys are almost as bad as Flat Earthers or 9/11 Truthers or Moon-landing deniers. Like them, none of you can bring yourselves to face cold, hard physical evidence that destroys your theory. Your desperate excuses and evasions are just about as absurd as theirs are.
