Huh? The only naivety on display is coming both barrels from you, the concept of hiding in plain sight" only works when the applicable rules are applied, it's all good to speculate with the appropriate knowledge in hindsight but at the time any potential assassin could only guess.
1. If only Secret Service rushed to the 6th floor and the assassin was wearing a Police Uniform he would not fit in.
2. If the Police rushed to the 6th floor then a suited gentleman would not fit in.
3. If the FBI rushed to the 6th floor and the Assassin flashed his Secret Service card he would not fit in.
So, as can be seen, some guy hiding amongst boxes and playing Jack in the Box as he suddenly exposes himself, in itself would raise serious questions and then on top of that, this man has to have the appropriate disguise and then has to have the correct identification, what you simply write of as a simple act of "hiding in plain sight" is in fact far more complicated than you can possibly understand.
Whereas we know that Oswald was in the Sniper's Nest because Brennan saw him and gave a close description and 15 minutes later this description was broadcast on the Police radio and Oswald's fresh prints were discovered in the Sniper's Nest and his rifle carry bag with his prints were discovered in the Sniper's Nest and Oswald's rifle was discovered on the same floor and his prints were on the rifle and he has no alibi and 90 seconds later he decides to get a coke of all things and he was seen hurriedly moving away from Officer Baker in the vestibule in the direction away from the stairs and then Oswald decides to immediately leave in flight and, gets on and off a bus, and gets in a cab and stops way past his rooming house and gets his gun and kills a cop and discards his jacket and hides in a theatre and tries to kill more cops when arrested and while being interrogated, lies about owning the rifle and lies about living at Neely street and lies about the backyard photo and lies about the story he tells Frazier and lies about putting the long package on the back seat of Frazier's car, etc, etc, etc, etc etc!
And this is the man you want to defend?
Btw when in your mind, you attempt to refute each piece of this rock solid evidence with unconnected speculation, try and think of the complications of manufacturing what turned out to be a totally connected Mountain of Evidence!
Now I know that you have proven that you are beyond reason, but I simply post this for the reader who might not know what was actually involved in Oswald's guilt.

Would hiding in plain sight be risky? Sure, there would always be a certain amount of risk involved. But the same goes for running down the stairs where at any time police officers could come up!
Bonnie Ray Williams was on the 6th floor, near the sniper's nest and was unable to see anybody in it. If the killer had carried an official law enforcement badge and was hidden by some boxes on the other side of the 6th floor, he could have shown himself as soon as the first couple of officers had arrived on the 6th floor. The officers coming up from behind would have been none the wiser and believe had just had come up before them and those already on the floor, if they even noticed him, would have accepted the badge and carried on searching the floor. For crying out loud, for Baker was Truly saying that Oswald was an employee enough to let him go.
Whereas we know that Oswald was in the Sniper's Nest because Brennan saw him and gave a close description and 15 minutes later this description was broadcast on the Police radio and Oswald's fresh prints were discovered in the Sniper's Nest and his rifle carry bag with his prints were discovered in the Sniper's Nest and Oswald's rifle was discovered on the same floor and his prints were on the rifle and he has no alibi and 90 seconds later he decides to get a coke of all things and he was seen hurriedly moving away from Officer Baker in the vestibule in the direction away from the stairs and then Oswald decides to immediately leave in flight and, gets on and off a bus, and gets in a cab and stops way past his rooming house and gets his gun and kills a cop and discards his jacket and hides in a theatre and tries to kill more cops when arrested and while being interrogated, lies about owning the rifle and lies about living at Neely street and lies about the backyard photo and lies about the story he tells Frazier and lies about putting the long package on the back seat of Frazier's car, etc, etc, etc, etc etc! Wow, sounds convincing, if all of it was actually true. The problem is that there simply isn't conclusive proof for most of the claims that are being made here. For instance, it wasn't Brennan's description that was broadcast on the police radio, and Brennan originally couldn't identify Oswald in the line up. That only happened after some "persuasion". The assumption that the magical bag that first wasn't and then suddenly was found in the sniper's nest and never photographed in situ was ever used to carry the rifle is nothing more than indeed an assumption... etc,etc,etc,etc, etc!
Oh yeah, one more thing; if Oswald wanted to flee (as you suggest) he could have simply left the stairs on the 2nd floor and kept on walking through the office space and out the front door. He wouldn't have to hang around in the lunchroom.
And this is the man you want to defend? No, I don't want to defend Oswald. I have no horse in this race at all and have never ever claimed he was innocent or guilty for that matter. But a fanatical zealot like you will never see it that way. For you, anybody who doesn't instantly accept the BS that you are trying to sell must be a defender of Oswald. If he is guilty then so be it, but his guilt should be demonstrated by conclusive evidence and this so-called "mountain of evidence" of yours is in reality a minor molehill of speculation and biased conjecture. Make enough assumptions and you can "prove" anybody is guilty of anything!
The desperate way in which you try to defend and justify all the massive problems there are with the evidence, like ignoring witnesses and calling people like Adams and Garner liars, as if it is all irrelevant to the outcome of the investigation, tells me beyond reasonable doubt that what we are told simply isn't what actually happened. It's the antics of people like you which creates doubt about the verasity of the evidence!
