There is a telling parallel between the lunchroom hoaxers' neglect of Marvin Johnson and the PrayerMan zealots' neglect of a height analysis. Ignoring these central arguments has transformed them into the Achilles' heel for each belief system.
Sean Murphy used employees' recollections of their whereabouts to conclude that PrayerMan couldn't have been anyone but Oswald. Assuming these recollections were perfect, and ignoring the need for a height analysis.
But every intellectually honest height analysis places PrayerMan at the front of the landing, a full head shorter than Wesley Frazier. And a digital scan will prove what has already been determined, that the blurry figure is a woman clerk.
So thousands of man-hours have been invested in determining the location of a woman clerk. What a profound waste of time.
Similarly, the Murphyites have collected gobs of ambiguous accounts of the 2nd-floor lunchroom encounter, assuming these ambiguities perfectly described a hoax, and were not merely mis-reported second-hand information.
But they completely ignored one of the central pieces of Baker evidence- Marvin Johnson's report- which immediately explains the ambiguities in Baker's own affidavit. And attests that Baker recognized Oswald from their encounter at the Depository.
Sean Murphy- off and running with a hypothesis, completely ignoring central arguments which refute it. Can you see the effects of alcohol abuse on Murphy's ability to discern these issues?
God willing, these issues will resolve themselves in the near future. And there are going to be winners and losers, and hurt feelings.
One thing we will learn is that in JFK research, as in all walks of life, boozers are losers.
Stick with the winners, folks.
