Because to me it was pretty easy to understand.
Thompson simply stated that he was dead wrong about the slight forward tilt of JFK's head at 311-313. That is an illusion from a smear on the film.
He used Dave Wimp's mathematical work and slides to show this was the case. These were convincing I think.
That is crucial in and of itself since so many people have postulated a double hit around this time in the film.
But this new work, pretty much settles it as far as where that shot came from, since now there is only one movement--straight back. I mentioned this in my review of Reitzes piece of crap in Skeptic. That this would blow up many theories from the other side.
But further, they then said there was a hit past 313, from the rear at about 329 which knocks him forward. ANd they demonstrated this with the speed of the movement and the acoustics tape.
This really changes things if its so, and in many ways.
BTW, both Groden and Mantik later said they have been working along similar lines.
As I said in my Reitzes review, if this is accurate, game's over.
Up to now those who supported the "two shots to the head" believed that he was hit from behind at Z313 and from the front hitting him in the temple at Z321-Z323.This is very interesting and we'll need to see or read these presentations to fully understand what they mean. I am not a big fan of the microanalysis, trajectories and bullets studies since they confuse you more than helping to understand the case. for example i just watched a youtube interview of Dr. Wecht https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl...tUL-BpZAu8
where he says that the first shot hit JFK in the back and exited from the front of the neck. But this will mean an upward trajectory which is strange. Now i was not there so i don't have a complete picture of what it was said. How did he explain this during his presentation?
