I was afraid that I might have been vague in what I wrote. Sorry.
I'm not asserting that studying the Z film is a waste of time. I spent this past weekend at my in-law's in a small rural town. Doing so afforded me some time to think about the "other" film, and what its existence means. As such, the one definitive conclusion I reached is that in the presence of this accurate or more accurate film, the argument about whether or not the Zapruder film has been altered would be over. Zapruder, if this other film exists, has been altered. Therefore, I'm not sure debating alteration with those that defend the Z film is worth the time - especially in light of the amount of disinformation purveyors that lurk about. Is that more clear?
As for my "on faith" comment, I hold no delusion that I will ever get to see this "other" film. I must rely on the accounts of those that have seen it and their reputations to reach my conclusion about the veracity of the film's existence.
I apologize for being vague in my first post. I understand your concern for the integrity of DPF and do not consider your response to have been pithy.
Meditating on the existence of this other film has "rocked my world".

Michael - thank you for your considered and thoughtful post.
Meditating on the existence of the "other film" does indeed rock worlds....
