Oh, good, we're back on track!
Why does that matter?
Well, because if Oswald actually could drive, then this part of LN dogma is incorrect and new possibilities are opened up. If Tippit was actually doing some of the odd things he has been reported as doing, then this opens up the possibility that the encounter with Oswald was less routine than LN dogma would have us believe.
Even if one wants to confine all JFKA discussion strictly to the events of November 21-24, there are mysterious aspects that are hard to explain and that at least suggest the LN dogma may not be the full story. You apparently are satisfied it is the full story and that anyone who disagrees with you is credulous if not stupid. Even though I pretty much accept the LN narrative, there are aspects that leave me scratching my head and wondering if the LN narrative is the full story. At this point, thanks to Jack Ruby and an agenda-driven WC, all we likely ever will have is speculation - but there is the possibility some new kernel of actual evidence will come to light.
Oswald's preternatural calm in the encounter with Baker ... his calm and cockiness in the legendary Fritz's attempts to break him ... his insistence he didn't kill anybody ... his telling Robert "don't believe the so-called evidence." Just this is enough in itself to give me pause as to what was actually going on. Unlike so many, I don't have any psychological or emotional need for the LN narrative to be correct or for the case to be closed.
It reminds me of a photo that appeared in the now defunct Columbus Citizen-Journal back in the 1970s during another wave of UFO sightings. The photographer had tossed the cap of a roll of film into the air and photographed it against the Columbus skyline to show how easy it was to fake these photos, even before the days of AI. Does anybody ever stop to wonder why all these UFOs seem to be a different make and model. Have the space aliens sent an entire armada of spaceships to the Third Rock from the Sun?
Every area of weirdness, including religion, is plagued with hoaxers and fraudsters. Typically, however, they are eventually exposed. I am guessing the photo in the
Columbus Citizen-Journal didn't fool any serious ufologist for very long, The level of photographic analysis to which the most credible UFO photos have been subjected might astonish you. The late Bruce Maccabee was an optical physicist employed by the Navy, and he was not easily fooled - nor was he alone. A serious analysis of a UFO incident or photo makes for tedious reading, even for me.
UFOs do not all seem to "a different make and model." For starters, we don't know that they are a make and model of ANY nuts-and-bolts craft; we don't know what they are at all. Perhaps they are holograms or simulations. The fact is, dating back to ancient history the disk shape has predominated, to the extent that Carl Jung speculated that this was an archetype originating in the collective human unconscious (
Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Sky).
FWIW, this photo - from British Columbia in 1981 - and the circumstances in which it was caught on film make it one of the most credible of unexplained UFO photos (and there are many such photos). It and the photographer have withstood all analysis. See

The photographer, Hannah McRoberts, was on a family outing; the UFO photo negative was surrounded by family outing-type photos; and Hannah was "the niece of one of Canada's leading nuclear engineers, a man in charge of a multi-billion dollar electrical generating complex."
