Ed, et al,
I am not quite persuaded by the Z-film alteration hypothesis, but if forced to declare, I will come down on the side of alteration.
Here's the problem: When arguing for Z-film fakery, most ardent proponents fail to note that conspiracy in the JFK case has been established independent of Zapruder's indie and its legitimacy.
Z-film legitimacy/fakery is a debate that ultimately speaks to the "who," rather than the "how" of the assassination.
Absent this distinction informing all of your work, you'll get nowhere.
