Conflicting acoustic findings, each ostensibly reinforced by "science," accomplish this goal.
HSCA analysts and Thomas take the same position, with the later reinforcing it.
By the way, Thomas's area of expertise is not acoustics. In this regard he is the doppelganger of the late, not-so-great urologist Dr. John Lattimer, whose pro-LN pseudo-science was "dignified" by his medical training -- and, believe it or not, his obsession with the Lincoln assassination.
