I agree with NOTHING you propose in terms of JFK-related issues.
What you would reduce to a matter of semantics is, in fact, a manifestation of a profound and timeless cultural conflict. You stand not for eloquent simplicity, but rather for weaponized simple-mindedness.
You also stand as a poster boy for the latter.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
