There is simply no way for that single tear to be caused by a projectile coming either towards or away from the body thru the tie. Even assuming that its a single Windsor knot, that's at least four layers of fabric for a projectile to pass through. A Double Windsor, which I am certain is the preferred type for high society types, would have 6 or more.
(I'll sacrifice a tie to illustrate my point later.)
If you don't have 4 - 6 tears, and incidentally, 4 - 6 bloodstains, there is simply no way for that to be a projectile. If there is only one bloodstain, it had to come from a) the head shot blood falling down and being blown back towards him by the wind, or b) a co-incidental transfer stain from some other blood covered surface that came into contact with the tie, or c) being planted there deliberately.
I feel confident that the "hypodermic needle into the tie knot" theory is horseradish (PS: if the hypothetical needle only pierced the tie, how did the blood get there?). The only explanation for this single tear is the one from the operating room: the slit (in the blue material) happened when the operating room staff was removing his clothing to care for him.
One more remark: A round projectile passing through fabric wouldn't leave a nice round hole.
