Touring the Tippit Scene

[Charles Collins]

That why this whole rabbit hole is ridiculous. Sure, it’s possible that LHO could have gone up to the balcony to avoid the concession stand ticket taker. It’s also possible that he couldn’t. Or didn’t. Again, so what?

Now we’re probably going to get to have an argument over what “definitely” means. There’s nothing definite about it. Nobody knows if Oswald was ever in the balcony or on one of those staircases.

Again, there’s nothing “likely” about it. It’s pure conjecture.

Nobody actually saw him enter the theater, so you haven’t even demonstrated that he did “sneak in”, much less why.

You go on believing that nobody has demonstrated anything whatsoever happened at all. I give up.

You go on believing that nobody has demonstrated anything whatsoever happened at all. I give up.

I’m sure you will go on calling your speculated possibilities “likely”.

If you had just left out the word “likely”, nobody would have argued with you.

Here, I'll help you; from the Oxford dictionary...

conjecture
/kənˈdʒɛktʃə/

noun
an opinion or conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information.
"conjectures about the newcomer were many and varied"

[Charles Collins]

If you had just left out the word “likely”, nobody would have argued with you.

That’s highly unlikely.

[Martin Weidmann]

That’s highly unlikely.

And that's another thing you're wrong about....

You have just proven that I was right. Thank you very much for arguing.

[Martin Weidmann]

You have just proven that I was right. Thank you very much for arguing.

How did I prove you are right when all I did was point out that you are wrong to claim that it would be unlikely John and I would have argued with you if you had left out the word "likely" in you initial post?

John and I know for a fact that we wouldn't have argued with you if you had left the word "likely" out. You on the other hand know nothing and claim nevertheless it's unlikely we wouldn't have argued with you. Are you a (very bad) mind reader now?

Thank you for continuing to argue. Further evidence of the unlikelihood that you wouldn’t have argued.
