"normal" in a diagnostic sense means "not inflamed," not that the tonsils have regrown from a post-operative culling.
The doctor calls my kid's partially removed tonsils/adenoids "normal" at our yearly visits. However, she has cautioned us that tonsillitis may recur.
And I freely admit that in the study 6% of the subjects where a partial was perfomed purposefully had minor regrowth with in 30 months of the median age of 5.
From the time Oswald was 8 until the tonsilitis in the Marines I do not see evidence for anything of the sort occurring. Reading CE985 a bit more closely and the man with reoccurring tonsilitis and sore throats has none of these once he leaves the USMC and Harvey is tracked instead of Lee.
The point of the argument was JA's use of the word "impossible"... 5% occurrance is not impossible... but it's also not the 94% who did not have any regrowth or tonsil problems.
