It assume what you haven`t shown "...how Oswald could see Junior Jarman and Shorty Norman re-renter through the loading dock...". It is begged.

The room was given. presumably Oswald knows how many doors the Domino Room had.
And I don`t know of any size stipulation for a room to be in order to walk through it.
> does a tour of it be walking the few feet that consitutes the the "through", turns and exists through the same door? Were those workers unfamikira with the layout? FFS you guys come up with some shit reasoning to avoid the fucking obvious - that they walked "through" the first floor storage area.
Why must it be that it is the room that is wrong and not the other information?
Fritz`s notes has "say two negr came in. One Jr. and short negr".

Or maybe he just put down what he heard. It is only your assumption that going through the room poses a problem for the account.

Show that someone eating in the Domino Room would see out that window into the room (in fact, show the door had a window).
The floorplan...

In fact it appears to me that the Domino room had a solid door, no glass.
See photos of the Domino Room starting at 7:51 to 9:15 in this youtube video...

Of course the door may have been left open all the time.

I haven`t seen it established they came in at 12:25.

Again, you assume what you haven`t shown, that they weren`t just giving Oswald sightings honestly and to the best of their ability.

> > Who heard it?

Wrong.
"Mr. NORMAN. Well, we stayed there I believe until we got the news that the motorcade was coming down, let's see, is that Commerce, no Main, because Commerce- we went back in the building, James Jarman and I."
As far as I can find Jarman said nothing about a radio message.

Which doesn`t stand against critical examination.

Unknown exactly how it played out. We have snippits of information at uncertain times. The MC didn`t need to be assembled at the last minute, it could have been assembled and put back where the clipboard was found.
> > It fails because you have to knock the corners off the square peg to get it to fit in the round hole.

You changed the room specified. You ignore the repeated use of the word "possibly".

Anywhere in the building that has a view to any part of the route they took.
> > It fails because the source says he was uncertain that he saw them at all.
> His seeming uncertainty in saying "I Think there was someone else in there because..." is belied by the reason that follows " we usually played dominoes in there but that particular day we didn't play that morning." So he is saying he thinks there was siomeone else BECAUSE whoever it was DIDN'T PLAY dominoes.
There is nothing about playing dominos.
> In other words, he reemembers that there WAS someone, but whoever it was, was a non-domino player.
Huh?
> And that does narrow it down. Only the black guys played dominos, so right away, we know this was a white guy. We have already ruled out you first guess, Dougherrty. Why don't you give it another shot?
Do I have to play along with your assumptions?

"Confirmation bias is our tendency to cherry-pick information that confirms our existing beliefs or ideas."
Do you see it as requiring your acceptance to be true? Do you contest that you have spent years trying to show Oswald`s innocence (I would say desperately so).

See above. I`ve provided evidence and reasoning. I`m sure both will bounce right off you.
