Spot on Peter. A couple of years ago I saw a piece by Penn and Teller. I can't remember the specifics any more but it was clearly aimed at debunking the "back and to the left" idea. The piece finished with Penn looking at the camera and saying "second gun, my ass".
I remember thinking then, "Wow. Using a magician to "prove" the non-existence of a GK gunman. Not very clever.", but then I realised that most people wouldn't even think about the fact that P&T set out to deceive their audience using every trick that's out there. They will just look at it and go "huh. Well I guess it was Oswald after all."
