What I like about it the most is that you cite the evidence on both sides and not just one. The key argument for me, however, concerns their facial differences:
"I asked him [Jack] to study the images of these persons so see what he could determine. The facial features of Adams and the man were quite different, where Adams has a long face, a long chin, and his left ear top-in. Conein and the man, by contrast, both have a square face, short chin, and left ear top-out. He established further differences, including that the Adams supranasal ridge is twice as wide as that of the man and of Conein. The plaque turned out to be an obvious fake, which shows that promoting misinformation on JFK is alive and well to this day!"
We all agree that the "plaque" is phony and contrived, even including the wrong day of the week and date of the month. Even if we write that off to an excess of enthusiasm by his wife, Imogene, that does not change the features of his face. i find it difficult to understand how, when you know that their faces are so different, you can take for granted that the person in the photo is Adams and not Conein. I would also observe that Jack and I are willing to be proven to be wrong, but that, in this case, has not happened--nor, given these differences, would I expect it ever will.

An excellent post.
Thank you.

Just to clarify, I made the observations which Jim mentions
but ALSO said that the comparisons were in my opinion
INCONCLUSIVE. I said that if forced to choose one or the
other I would choose Conein in the comparison because:
1. distance between eyebrows
2. distance between eyes
3. oval face compared to square face
My identification is not positive. It is more like Adams unlikely
and Conein more likely. In other words, inconclusive.
