Shoutout to the JFK guys who took 3 weeks to explain why 2 shooters doesn't add up

So back in 2019 I fell down the JFK rabbit hole after watching some random doc on YouTube at like 1am, and I figured I'd have the whole thing sorted in a weekend. Nope. Took me almost 3 weeks of reading forum threads and watching grainy footage before the magic bullet argument finally clicked in my head, mostly because some guy on an old message board broke down the timing frame by frame with a stopwatch. I remember sitting at my kitchen table in Boise with a notebook like a crazy person, drawing lines from the book depository and trying to make the angles work. What got me was how the single bullet theory depends on that seat height and the governor's position, stuff nobody mentions in the docs. Three weeks just to get the basics straight, and I still don't feel sure about any of it. That's when it hit me why this one never dies, there's always one more detail that flips your whole map upside down. Anyone here actually sat down and timed the shots themselves, or am I the only one who went that deep on a Tuesday night?

The "there's always one more detail that flips your whole map upside down" line is exactly what got me too. I used to roll my eyes at the whole thing honestly, figured it was just people seeing patterns in grainy film and calling it proof. Then I actually sat down and read through the single bullet breakdown with the seat height and Connally's position and how the timing has to line up, and it stopped being a joke to me. I never timed the shots myself with a stopwatch, but I did the notebook thing and tried to make the angles work on paper, and failing at it was what changed my mind about how messy this case really is. Now I get why people go down the hole for months, because every answer you find just hands you two new questions.
