Well argued, Jack.
The conspirators are well served by the shortsightedness, ignorance, and arrogance of certain "newer" researchers whom you reference.
I submit that the majority of "research" currently being conducted on this case is redundant, ego-driven, and/or wholly underinformed.
That the "how" -- as opposed to the "who" and "why" -- of JFK's murder continues to be investigated and argued brings peace and joy to the conspirators' black hearts.

I completely agree with what you're both saying. I would like to figure out how to identify a way to build on the findings of previous researchers and become an efficient research team. I have no patience for "researchers" who have well formed opinions yet are only willing to offer up vague tantalizing clues to others while claiming they want others to figure things out on their own. That is impractical. If they pull that crap on me I'll tune them out, fast. We are trying to solve a decades old murder case. This must be a cooperative venture.
Still, there are stumbling blocks to building on the research of others:
It's initially hard to know who to trust. This is, of course, by design. The perps divide and conquer most effectively. After a while it becomes more clear who to trust but it's always an issue. I'm mainly referring to disinformation agents like McAdams and Posner when I mention the trust issue. But there are even cases where a legit researcher reaches, IMO, a bizarre conclusion on an aspect of the case. I don't want to blindly follow them down a cul-de-sac.
There is SO much research out there: books, articles, websites, etc, that it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. We have to locate the good stuff. And no matter how good and definitive a piece of the puzzle is, there will always be some researchers who dispute it. So it becomes difficult to move forward.
Some people may want to hold back on their research and discoveries in the hopes of publishing a book. I would encourage them to look at the fate of Dorothy Kilgallen and not hold back.
Then again we have advantages we've never had before, like the internet. So let's use it to it's full potential.
I'd like to identify and implement a process that will allow us to agree on fundamental points of the JFK case, not just in principle but in practice, document those points, then move on to more nebulous areas of the case. To construct a framework MOST will agree on then flesh out the details. In other words solve the damn crime.
Do you guys think it's a practical goal? If so, how can we go about it?
