Don't you mean, couldn't have happened THEN? You raise good points about the official timing, but if Baker and Truly were even a minute late (as I believe you have argued persuasively before), a meeting between the Baker/Truly posse and the Adams/Styles gang on the stairway would not have occurred.
I realize that throws doubt onto the "90 second" timeline (and raises doubts about Ms. Reid's timing of the Oswald walk, which is not central to the narrative anyhow), but I have always thought that the case for Oswald as assassin would be better if you gave him an extra minute to ditch the rifle, catch his breath, and fumble for his change. I have never understood the seemingly urgent necessity for the WC narrative to put Oswald, unwinded, calmly "drinking a coke" on the second floor at 90 seconds. Seems to me that's the very BEST EVIDENCE that he didn't shoot.
Question: Which of those two doors, vestibule or lunchroom, had the pneumatic door closer?
