Thanks, Mr Lateer, for the compliments, much appreciated.
Likewise the relative importance of eyewitness versus circumstantial evidence does not matter in this key respect -- both must be given the closest scrutiny in a case replete with evidence manufacture & mutilation.

And a lot of this is based on deciding on what is probable and what is improbable.When reviewing the evidentiary basis, either in descent from a lofty hypothesis or as a preliminary to raising one from the ground up, it hardly matters in one respect -- the devil is in the dirty details, wherein reside gangs of brutal facts poised to murder any number of beautiful theories. The urge to alter or suppress them to fit a hypothesis is the same both ways, up or down, which few can resist even if honest.
Finally, I believe that I definitely know who plotted the JFK murder and their reasons for doing it. That's why I put together my JFK organizational chart with about 70 persons on it and published it.
I think it's more efficient to identify the general plan and members of the plot and work downward to the details, rather than vice versa.
