RE. the Z210 SBT timing --- It's possible that Vince is going with the
WC (more or less) re. the "just after 210" SBT shot. That is, Vince is
not convinced beyond all doubt that ANY Z-Frame shows a definitive SBT
"hit".

I am certain beyond a reasonable doubt, however, that the film does
show us the precise frame for the SBT bullet strike....and it's frame
224. But apparently Vince doesn't agree with that 100%.

Therefore, per VB's thinking (which could be valid too; I'll want to
see his precise arguments for this), the WC was correct at
"bracketing" the SBT between "210 and 225" (which, of course, is
technically correct even from my POV of a 224 hit, with that
bracketing being remarkably accurate, actually, considering '64
technology used to examine the shooting).

So, my feeling is that Vince is probably just sort of playing it safe
(similar to the WC), and he doesn't want to commit to a specific Z-
Frame. I think he's technically wrong here (and I'm prepared to say so
in my upcoming review of VB's book after I've read the entire book).

But at least Vince isn't going to "pull a Fuhrman" and invent some
wild speculation about the bullet going through JFK and then somehow
tipping upwards and missing Connally and then hitting the chrome and
bouncing clear out of the limo. That theory, IMO, is just silly and is
pure guesswork....even though Fuhrman is a devout LNer. (And I said
so, too....)

But I have a hard time believing that Vince didn't get together with
Dale Myers at some point since Dale started his excellent animation
project in about 1995. If he had done that and examined Dale's work
meticulously, I cannot see how it's even possible to arrive at a SBT
strike as early as Z210 (or "just after").

However, as I said, perhaps Vince's "just after" (or some similar
phrasing in his book) indicates he hasn't totally abandoned the notion
of a SBT strike as late as Z224 either. It depends on what he means by
"just after" or "a little after" or "within a split second of
210" (which I think is the exact quote that Tony provided from VB's
book; I'll be getting the book very shortly; Amazon's mailing is slow
this week; dammit!).

So, I wonder if Vince's "split second" term is meant to mean close to
a literal FULL second? I'm doubting he means a FULL second; because
"split second", definition-wise, means a "fractional part of a
second"....

But, to split these split hairs even finer here (as I, admittedly, am
speculating before reading VB's SBT chapter)...."split second" in this
"210 vs. 224" context DOES equate to only a "fraction" of a
second....because the difference in real time there is only 14/18ths
of 1 second. So, technically, it IS just a "split/fraction" of a
second difference.

So, perhaps Vince's "just after 210" conclusion could still include
frame Z224 too. I'm just not sure. But I'll find out soon.

But at least Vince knows that a SBT frame does exist on the
film...someplace. And so do I. And so did the WC. And so did the HSCA.
