I don't deny it at all - stop making stuff up!

So you're now denying that you said:

Patrick C Wrote:Another major issue is that you now introduce three locations left front, right front and rear high up.....this is not a sound pattern reflected at all in the witness testimony.

Who's making things up?

The fact that the "sound pattern" for two locations is "reflected" in the witness testimony. It's good to see that you refuse to state otherwise.

Patrick C Wrote:There was an approx even split between all shots from TSBD and all shots from the front or behind Zapruder....that is NOT the same as people stating there were multiple sources of shots.

Once again, this is a simple inference to the best explanation.

We have witnesses who say the Grassy Knoll area... we have witnesses who say the TSBD, we even have a few witnesses who specifically assert both locations...

What explanation best fits those facts?

Patrick C Wrote:Depending on your source of data, the number of people who thought shots came from more than one direction is in single figures.....

And completely un-explainable by your theory.

Patrick C Wrote:And your comment about my interpretation of witness reliability is illogical. I am not being inconsistent - there is a pattern to the testimony in the JFK assassination and that is that almost everyone there said the shots came from the same location - not two. This is significant. You are talking about well over 100 people who expressed their views that day or over the weekend.

You don't believe half of them. Your explanation fails to explain HALF of the evidence.

My explanation fits it perfectly... my glove fits.

Patrick C Wrote:Now I accept that does not mean they are correct, but the weight of the opinions is strongly persuasive that audible shots had one source only no matter where you the sound originated - they sounded like they came from the same place.

No, absolutely wrong.

And it's simple to prove.

Let's imagine, for the sake of argument, that there were two shooters in Dealey Plaza. And they both fired shots within a 10 second window... You presume that ALL (or most) of the witnesses would testify that they heard shots from two directions.

I call such an opinion sheer garbage, and unsupportable.
