CLIFF VARNELL SAID:
The mastoid process is a moveable landmark, and any measurement taken from a moveable anatomical landmark is in violation of proper autopsy protocol.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Bull. ......
JAMES HUMES (ARRB Testimony; 1996) ----
QUESTION -- "When you recorded it a being from the right mastoid process, was it your understanding that the right mastoid process was a fixed body landmark?"
HUMES -- "Oh, sure. It doesn't move around in most people. You're really in trouble if it does."
QUESTION -- "Well, is it a fixed landmark, fixed body landmark with respect to the thoracic cavity?"
HUMES -- "It's fixed with regard to respect anything you want it respected to."
QUESTION -- "Well, if your head turns to the right or to the left, does the mastoid process distance vary with relationship to--"
HUMES -- "Well, maybe a millimeter or two. Not significantly."
-----------
Dr. Humes is/was a fraud, a liar, and totally incompetent.....right?
Or do you think that his "millimeter or two" comment re the movement of the Mastoid Process location on any given individual means that the Kennedy "5.5 inch" [14 centimeters] measurement is to be completely thrown out the window as unreliable?*
* Keep in mind the word "approximately" was used regarding [some of] the autopsy measurements too [particularly the head wound measurements], indicating that the doctors felt that a "TO-THE-EXACT-MILLIMETER" measurement was not required.
And WHY would they think it would be required (in ANY criminal case), even the President's murder case? The doctors couldn't possibly have foreseen at the autopsy in '63 that a band of dedicated kooks in the late 20th and early 21st century would be scrutinizing--to the millimeter--the precise locality of the wounds, the clothing, the ONE AND ONLY entry hole on JFK's head, and a million other hunks of minutiae that are only ultra-important to conspiracy kooks bent on having every T crossed, even though it's not reasonable to think that every last T will be crossed in every murder investigation.
And furthermore, I'm doubting there would have been ANY measurement or measuring-taking device that would have sufficed the rabid [JFK] conspiracy kooks. No way that could have happened...not to a kook's satisfaction. Because the level of demands made by these kooks is too high....for ANYONE to
meet.
And even if such "measuring" demands WERE satisfied....then the same kooks would pull out the proverbial "Everything's Been Faked After The Fact" ploy. Nothing will "satisfy" kooks.
CLIFF VARNELL SAID:
The measurements from this improperly chosen anatomical landmark were written in pen on the autopsy face sheet. According to autopsy protocol, all measurements must be written in pencil.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Dear God! Say it isn't so!!!
I can see the "conspiracy" and "cover-up" so much more plainly now! The whole thing is due to the type of writing instrument utilized on the Face Sheet!
Fabulous discovery! Congrats!
~~Reminder to self ---- Contact Vince [Bugliosi]: tell him book must be cancelled. Cliff V. has solved case. Breakthrough involves writing implements. Will explain in full later.~~
CLIFF VARNELL SAID:
The autopsy face sheet itself -- filled out properly in pencil and marked "verified" -- contradicts the measurements taken from the mastoid process.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
The Boswell "dot" on the diagram contradicts the mastoid stat, yes. But that's been fully explained by Dr. Boswell a thousand times. He was not drawing "to scale" on the stick figure. The WRITTEN-IN MEASUREMENTS are still there to verify precisely where the wound was.
But, keep trying.....you kooks might be able to find some little piece of B.S. you can use to convince others (and yourself) that the doctors were all either boobs, liars, or both.
CLIFF VARNELL SAID:
You don't have a single piece of uncompromised evidence to support the SBT, David. Nothing.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Yeah....thank God in heaven that you discovered that "Pen vs. Pencil" gaffe! That's gonna break the conspiracy WIDE open! (And probably cause the "Bic" company a lot in potential sales too. Because nobody's gonna trust their ball-points anymore after reading your last post regarding the illegalities of pen use.)
CLIFF VARNELL SAID:
It's common sense to claim that 5 or 6 inches of JFK's shirt and jacket fabric occupied the same physical space at the same time as his jacket collar?
Solid objects cannot occupy the same physical space at the same time, David, that's why we have car crashes.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
And CTers can't stop isolating relatively unimportant minutiae in their everlasting quest to prove something that never happened.
That's why we have CT Kooks.
