In my opinion, the SBT has been discredited since the '60s for people who live in the "reality based community." But for the governmental/corporate elites, who have always believed they have the power to define reality however they choose* - and we're supposed to just accept it - the SBT will never be discredited no matter what we do.
These are the people who insist that home-made bombs or aluminum airliners can do the kind of damage that only military explosives can inflict, or that numerous witnesses were mistaken when they saw an object streak up toward TWA 800, or Sirhan could really shoot RFK at point blank range when he was standing several feet away, or that Watergate was really just a third rate burglary, that Iran-Contra was just a few misguided patriots, that James Earl Ray could possibly know when or where MLK would appear on the balcony, or that Israel attacked the Liberty for an hour and a half without realizing that it was a US ship, or that they just can't find the surveillance camera footage from OKC, etc. etc.
The arrogance and contempt of the Elite is unending. They will continue to spew more and more crap and expect us to believe it. And many ignorant people, content with their shopping and cable TV, will believe it. They WILL believe that Vietnam was a noble cause, that Saddam was involved in 9/11, that Anglo-American power is a force for good around the world, that the next terrorist attack is caused by ISIS, that we do need to occupy the entire Muslim world from Algeria to Pakistan for their own good, that a total surveillance society in the US and UK is absolutely necessary for our safety.
So I think at this point we need to stop wasting time and energy on the single-bullet theory.

The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." ... "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that realityjudiciously, as you willwe'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."
