Sorry to interrupt this verbal diarrhoea Royell, the Warren Commission never relied on the SBF. Oops
There is very persuasive evidence from the experts to indicate that the same bullet which pierced the President’s throat also caused Governor Connally’s wounds. However, Governor Connally’s testimony and certain other factors have given rise to some difference of opinion as to this probability, but there is no question in the mind of any member of the Commission that all the shots which caused the President’s and Governor Connally’s wounds were fired from the sixth-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository

Good of you to point out this, but the fact is that they offered no alternate explanation. In particular, they never discussed where the shot through JFK's neck went if it did not strike JBC in the back. [They also never thought to question the assumption that JBC had been hit by only one bullet.]
The conclusion of at least one member, John McCloy (and perhaps the other three that accepted the SBT) was that JBC was hit in the back by the
first shot and did not notice it (despite his clear recollection that he felt the impact immediately and knew he had been hit). This was the controversial aspect of the SBT for 15 years until the HSCA came out and suggested that the first shot missed.
