The HSCA wasn't full of a bunch of complete idiots (nor was the WC).
(Although the "acoustics team", with the 11th-hour tacked-on "4th Shot"
is, IMO, not valid, but that's another matter altogether.)
But the WC and the HSCA obviously KNEW there WAS a "SBT" to be
extracted from that Zapruder movie -- no question about THAT fact.
Why?
Obviously a "SBT" was the ONLY possible logical explanation given the
LACK of any rear-seat limo damage (and lack of whole bullets recovered
from rear seats)...plus: given the lack of bullets in the body of JFK,
and the lack of ANY bullets being found ELSEWHERE (car, hospital, DP)
that could have possibly represented the bullets that were inside JFK
had a bullet not gone completely through him.
Given these facts, there is no question there was just ONE single
bullet that went through Kennedy and on into Connally. And the WC and
HSCA knew this full well.
The WC/HSCA probably considered "conspiracy" for about three seconds,
re. the SBT specifically, before rejecting the idea as IMPOSSIBLE in
every conceivable, DOABLE way. There's no way these plotters could have
been THAT GOOD, IOW. To have eliminated all these bullets and/or
frontal wounds on two victims, and eliminate any limo damage that might
need to be eradicated; and for THREE shots to have "aligned" just
nicely to form the wounds on TWO victims like they would have had to do
if THREE gunmen had been firing instead of just one; and on & on &
on.....
Therefore, what is left is .... A SBT being the ONLY answer to EXPLAIN
THE EVIDENCE AS IT EXISTS.
Regardless of WHAT EXACT Z-FRAME the SBT equates to -- the point is:
There IS a Z-Frame (somewhere on that film) that DOES equate perfectly
to the "SBT". There is no way there's NOT such a Z-Frame given the
totality of this evidence re. the initial wounding of both victims.
Both the WC and HSCA did the best they could when attempting to piece
together the mystery of what time the SBT occurred on the film
(hampered greatly, quite obviously, by that damn freeway sign).
Now, just WHY the obvious (IMO) involuntary Connally reactions were
apparently NEVER noticed by anybody who looked at the film for the WC &
HSCA, I cannot say (lousy copies used?).
But the Digital copies we have now positively (IMO) point to a
Z223-Z224 hit to JBC -- that open mouthed grimace and shoulder drop and
weird, ultra-fast hat flip, are, in my view, as positive proof as we're
gonna find to verifying a bullet striking him at ANY point on the film.
There is NO OTHER POINT on the Z-Film that gives us THAT MUCH evidence
of a "hit" than do the frames just after Z223.
The WC and HSCA did "get it right" (overall) -- meaning: they were
right about only ONE bullet hitting both men simultaneously. They just
didn't have it PINPOINTED on the Zapruder Film with 100% accuracy.
But, circa 2005, we CAN now "pinpoint" the "bullet strike".

Such a nutty "Erase All The Evidence Immediately After It Happens"
'plot' (as many CTers think did occur on 11/22) couldn't have possibly
been pulled off in a billion years -- and that's WHY, IMO, such a
lamebrain, doomed-to-fail "Patsy" scheme would NEVER HAVE BEEN
ATTEMPTED IN THE FIRST PLACE (unless those "involved" had a Death Wish
themselves).
There would have been NO POSSIBLE WAY to "control" ALL this bullet (and
wound-location) evidence five minutes after the assassination (esp.
inside TWO victims -- the intended victim, JFK, plus a person they
obviously never meant to hit at all, JBC, who didn't require a "FAKED &
CONTROLLED AUTOPSY" at the end of the day on November 22nd).
SOMEBODY is gonna SEE something they shouldn't in all this confusion
and chaos just after it occurred (probably LOTS of people; i.e.
non-plotters!) at the place the plotters HAVE GOT TO KNOW the President
is going to be whisked just after such a shooting -- i.e.: a local
Dallas hospital.
Such a plot to eliminate a sitting President is just ASKING to be
caught -- and is JUST PLAIN DUMB! (Esp. when there were obviously so
MANY other BETTER ways to "eliminate" the target, rather than doing it
via a crackpot "Patsy" plan, which includes the possibility of needing
to eradicate God knows how many bullets and wounds, and strong-arming
God knows how many military people, making them keep their mouths shut
for the rest of their lives. (And just that mere POSSIBILITY of these
things occurring is enough to make any plotters put on the brakes when
it comes to considering this type of nutsville plan.)
Not to mention all the Dealey Plaza witnesses that such a plan is
unfolding in front of -- with MANY CAMERAS FILMING THE PLOTTERS END
RESULTS!
It's hilarious to think that anybody can actually believe ANY plotters
could BE this stupid and suicidal.
More thoughts on why the "SBT" is THE ONLY POSSIBLE way to explain the
non-fatal, non-head wounds during the shooting of 11-22-63.......
