RALPH CINQUE SAID:
Your video conflicts with your claim.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
I've now removed the video from that webpage. So there's no "conflict" at
all.
RALPH CINQUE SAID:
Do you think I am the only person who is actually going to check it?
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Well, actually, yes. Not a single other person (before you) has ever
informed me that they timed it out exactly (while utilizing the unedited
TV footage). And I doubt very much that anyone has ever done so (before
you did it). *I* certainly hadn't, because if I had, you wouldn't have
been able to catch that error on my site in the first place, because I
would have fixed it myself.
RALPH CINQUE SAID:
Why don't you respect your visitors more than you do?
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
I do respect accuracy. Very much so, in fact. As I said in an earlier
post, I despise incorrect information on my sites. I hate it more than
anything. And I'll always correct factual errors whenever I see them (or
when they are pointed out to me)---just like I did in this instance when I
changed "four minutes" to "five minutes". And I thanked you for pointing
out that error. And I still do thank you for it. Because it's such a small
thing that appears on just one of my thousands of webpages, I might not
have ever caught that error myself.
RALPH CINQUE SAID:
In a case like this, there is no excuse for not being accurate. If it's
5.5 minutes, then you should can easily say 5.5 minutes. Furthermore, in
Math, one typically rounds UP when you get to .5. But, you're not going to
say 6 minutes, are you? Of course not. But, you'll gladly deceive by half
a minute, won't you? Why?
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Even if I used the round-off method, I would still say FIVE minutes,
because it had not yet reached the ".5" mark of the next minute. I just
timed it again, and exactly 5 minutes and 25 seconds elapse between the
time of Ruby's gunshot and the time when Oswald's head disappears into the
ambulance.
You can time it for yourself if you'd like, using the two videos below.
The first one is from the CBS coverage that was actually aired, which
doesn't show the instant of the shooting, but that instant can be
determined by comparing it to the second video below, which is the raw
(and mostly unaired) KRLD-TV videotape footage which shows the moment of
the shooting.
In the first (aired) video, these are the stats (and I can't believe I
actually did this just to satisfy a rabid conspiracy hobbyist named Ralph
Cinque, but I did it anyway, just for kicks)....
OSWALD IS SHOT --- At the 2:45:21 mark in the first video (even though the
shooting isn't shown live, when adjusting the time backward, it would come
out to the 2:45:21 mark).
OSWALD PUT INTO AMBULANCE --- At the 2:50:46 mark in the top video below.
TOTAL TIME ELAPSED --- 5 Minutes, 25 Seconds.
Ergo, it had not yet reached the *5:30* mark since the shooting occurred,
therefore rounding DOWN to FIVE minutes for this particular event is
perfectly reasonable and accurate, which is just what I did for the
purposes of my webpage at my Kennedy Gallery site/blog (also linked
below)....

RALPH CINQUE SAID:
It's because you have low standards. It is because you are first and
foremost a propagandist. You are certainly not an uncompromising pursuer
of truth.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Jesus H. Christ, what a bunch of bull!
I've wasted enough time on this silliness, Ralph. You can go away now. I'm
done with this ridiculous topic. I still do thank you, however, for
pointing out what was a totally UNimportant error (in the larger scheme of
things) that I had on my website. I've now corrected that small mistake,
and the revision is perfectly satisfactory and accurate. If you disagree,
that's your problem, Ralph, not mine.
