[Garry Puffer]

John McAdams loves the term “factoid,” which to him means something presented as a fact which is not true. However, the greatest purveyors of factoids are the LNers. I am starting this thread to get a collection of their commonly used factoids. Here's the first. Let's see how many we can come up with.

LN factoid:
“The FBI had a guy fire LHO's rifle and they didn't find any nitrates on his cheek either. The round is sealed in the chamber for a bolt-action rifle.”

Refutation from Pat Speer when debating David Von Pein:
“most CTs incorrectly claiming the cheek test always showed gunshot residue when someone fired a rifle are conflating the tests performed by the FBI for nitrates with the tests performed FOR the FBI by the AEC (that are still considered scientific and accepted in court). These tests found that yessirree, gunshot residue was ALWAYS present on the cheek when one fired a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle. This is discussed in far greater detail than anywhere else in chapter 4d of my website. It is, at least so far, the definitive study of this issue, miles and miles beyond anything Bugliosi would ever dream of.”
