There's plenty of doubt about it, actually, and no re-enactment would
prove otherwise. A re-enactment would only show persons who are neither
Lovelady or Oswald.

When no new pictures will have either Lovelady or Oswald in them?

Other men can wear a similar shirt. A shirt by itself never proves
anyone's identity, unless it is a unique shirt with a design that has
never appeared on any other shirt ever made.

It's simply a shirt being worn by a man. That alone will never, ever,
ever tell you who the man is.

This test will prove nothing about anyone's identity, except for people
who might be in the new photos, none of whom will be Lovelady or Oswald.

Irrelevant, unless he can engage in time travel and bring back the
twenty-four-year-old Oswald to photograph him now.

Neither do I. None of this will prove, or disprove, the identity of
anyone in the Altgens photo, since none of those people will be in these
new photos. Unless the photographer plans to round up the few survivors?
But even with that, they'll look quite different today than they did in
1963. And Oswald won't be among them.

A waste of money for this purpose.

Oh please, you're exaggerating. I very much doubt that anyone even
cares remotely enough about this to come after you in any violent way.
If you're killed it will be from some completely different cause, such
as a robbery.

It can be on 1000 different websites and still it will prove nothing
either way about Oswald being, or not being, present in the Altgens
photo.

And it will still prove nothing about who is, and who isn't, seen in the
Altgens photo, and that doesn't only include your doorway man, but
everyone else seen in it as well.

Sure, we need a good laugh.

Of course not. These will merely be new photos of people who weren't in
the Altgens photo anyway.

Indeed. Sadly (for you alone) these new photos will prove nothing.

There's a very good reason to bother: you seem not to realize that unless
you can go back in time and put a living Oswald in the new photos, no new
photo that will ever be taken will prove whether or not he appears in a
photo that was taken close to half a century ago. What anyone is or isn't
wearing in any new photo is irrelevant.
> Why not wait for the pictures?
I don't have to see the pictures to know perfectly well that not one of
them will prove anyone's identity in the Altgens photo. The only possible
way to change that is to photograph at least one of the *same* people
today, and Oswald is definitely not available for that.
> And honestly,

No.

Yes. Why on earth do you think that more than 48 years later isn't far
too late for any new photograph to prove anyone's identity in the Altgens
photo unless you have some of the same people in the new photos who were
in the Altgens photo? You're going to a lot of trouble to prove nothing.

Unless you're going to have Lovelady himself in the new photos, they'll
still prove nothing, no matter what anyone is wearing in the new photos.
