The paraffin test was unreliable, and produced both false positives and false negatives. Its only real use was to intimidate naive suspects into confessing.
Liar alert!
The test that showed that Oswald could have fired a weapon that day was the Paraffin test... but the test that gave evidence that Oswald had NOT fired a rifle was the NAA test.
The paraffin test gave evidence that Oswald HAD fired a weapon... although, as McAdams also knows, working around paper products is one of the reasons that the paraffin test will give false positives... the test that showed NEGATIVE for any rifle usage was the NAA test... and McAdams knows this.
The Neutron Activation Analysis test is extremely reliable and accurate. And McAdams knows this...
But just like all other believers, he will instantly take any reference to this topic as referring to the Paraffin test, and absolutely REFUSE to address or even acknowledge the accuracy & reliability of the NAA test.
Of course, this fact demonstrates just who is honest, and who is lying...

Interestingly, the "honest" man, Patrick Collins - had absolutely nothing to say on this issue.
It's fascinating to note that critics will easily and quickly correct any critic who's misusing or misrepresenting the evidence, but this simply isn't true among believers...
Any lie whatsoever is perfectly valid for believers, as long as it supports their faith.
And that fact tells the tale...
