David, your desperation to avoid the issue is palpable. I promise you (and Albert), I will get to the Matoidectomy.
Yes, the tonsils can grow back. Thank you for finally acknowledging that medical fact. But in this case, I doubt they needed to because there is zero evidence that the quack Philben actually performed any such operation.
Here is the heading at the old "Harvey & Lee" site:
MAGIC TONSILLECTOMY
That use of those colorful fonts again! Wonderful stuff!
But apart from that, don't you agree that this is a misleading header?
Don't you agree that cropping the bit about LHO having a tonsillectomy and merely stating that the information comes from an FBI report is misleading - since the info initially came from an insurance application?
Don't you agree that the following is also just plain wrong?
"So.... Did Lee Harvey Oswald's tonsils grow back? Were Marine medics hallucinating? Or is there a more likely explanation?"

Armstrong here is trying to ridicule the possibility that the tonsils grew back and offers up instead, the solution that of course, they cannot do that, and since it's unlikely that the medics were hallucinating, it must mean they were examining a completely different person!
Here is his solution:
"The Warren Commission, John Armstrong believes, combined the biographies of two different people to arrive at the classic legend of Lee Harvey Oswald. One was a Russian speaking youth, possibly the child of Hungarian parents. Armstrong notes that this person was referred to as "Harvey." The other was a taller but similar looking boy with a Southern U.S. accent, born as "Lee Harvey Oswald." Both may well have become entangled at an early age in an intelligence operation. It was "Harvey" who traveled to Russia and was shot dead by Jack Ruby. It was "Lee" who got into a fight in the ninth grade at Beauregard Junior High School and lost a tooth. One Lee Harvey Oswald had his tonsils removed on January 17, 1945. The other did not."
Ooops.
I note that the all new "Harvey & Lee" site has dropped the tonsils issue (or it is hiding it well enough that I couldn't locate it quickly on that site). If it has been dropped, the error should have been acknowledged on that old site which can still be accessed and has nothing there to warn readers that the whole article is factually incorrect.
That is just the beginning. The crap about the mastoidectomy is next.
