(11,149 posts)> The figure in the right photo should be enlarged and tilted about 30 degrees (according to researcher Pat Speer) to properly align, with another adjustment to compensate for the slight rightward turn of the head as can be seen in the photo.
I have no idea what "another adjustment" you would like to use, but my diagram is tilted about 25 degrees. Plus or minus even 10 degrees either way would make only a small change in the vertical placement of the back wound, anyway, so feel free to use whatever adjustments you like in your own diagram. That leaves your claim that the figure on the right needs to be enlarged. So, let's just enlarge it enough to get the result you want, i.e. at least a level hit, and see what that would look like.
So, does that look about right to you now?
> But he would have been seen or heard on the staircase by Victoria Adams and Sandra Styles. And he wasn't.
Unless, perhaps, they were making too much noise themselves running down the stairs to hear anyone else, or perhaps it just didn't register because of the situation so they don't recall it, or perhaps the timing you would like to use is not all that accurate, or any number of other possibilities, absolutely none of which have you ruled out. Why do I have to keep explaining this over and over?
> But there is no conflicting eyewitness testimony in the Victoria Adams situation.
With Adams, I don't mean testimony conflicting with other testimony, but testimony that implies things not in agreement with other evidence, e.g. that it was Oswald on the sixth floor shooting Oswald's gun, which he had brought to work that morning. The problem which you don't seem to appreciate is that you are not really using Adams as an eyewitness but rather as a non-witness.

Say what? Those are methods for finding the truth superior to evidence-based reasoning?

Discussed elsewhere.

Ah, and just when I thought you might be ready to crack...
