you just posted:
For me the question is to what degree and to what intent. If the technical facility was present to remove the evidence of rear ejecta, a full limo stop, and two distinct head shots, why was the obvious rearward head snap left in? Was the purpose of alteration to fool the people at Time, the WC, or the public? Those involve three different time frames; 12 hours, two months, and 10 years, respectively.
I believe I addressed to what EXTENT by talking about what actually needed to be SHOWN versus what we finally see on the film 12 years later... Individual FRAMES are the only things that needed alteration if you accept that the B&W copies were not made until much later... and the B&W frame enlargements came from Hawkeye.
As to INTENT... the film had to match the autopsy record which - when completed that weekend - shows the right and top FRONT of his head gone, with the back intact.
That, imo, was the INTENT of work like this... I think we're on the same page... sorry if I was not more clear in my answer
