Anytime someone uses the phrase "common sense" when it comes to the JFK case, you can be ABSOLUTELY SURE that someone is trying to evade the actual evidence.

It's often said, for example, that it's merely "common sense" that a bullet striking JFK, and not ending up in the limo, must have struck Connally.

This is a lie, and based on a number of implied assertions that will never be spelled out.

The first assumption that will never be explained is that the bullet *TRANSITED* JFK's body.

There never has been any medical evidence for such a transit, and during the autopsy, none was found.

One cannot simply draw a line between wounds - because the first thing a believer has to do is move the wound. (as was HISTORICALLY done by the Warren Commission)

Nor will someone asserting the SBT as "common sense" ever publicly admit that this is based on speculations made after the autopsy was over.

And evidence shows that this speculation of transit wasn't made that first weekend, as is often pre-supposed... Rankin makes it clear in January that the autopsy report *HE* was reading was ascribing the throat wound to a fragment from the head shot...

This shows that there was a bit of evidence shuffling going on in the government... or that Rankin couldn't read.

So anytime the phrase "common sense" occurs in this case... start examining the underlying hidden assumptions being made.

Because someone is CERTAINLY lying...
