No.
The two documents were written by the same someone else, most probably the man who witnessed both "Burnett" and were based on established facts and when a human error was observed, Baker corrected the mistake. What is odd that you are placing so much emphasis on a correction that was left in the Official records, like only you have Sherlock Holmes like abilities to decipher the truth.
WTF? Both Baker and Truly looked over the documents, then when satisfied, signed them. How deep does your conspiracy go?
Damaging? If Oswald was carrying around a coke, which he could have purchased at any time, how is that in any way problematic?
I'm saying, "let me out of this madhouse"!!!

I read through DVP's argument about the Baker affidavit and I'm sure you are proposing the same nonsense - the Burnett either shoved a pre-written affidavit in Baker's face because he was in such a massive rush, Baker saw some mistakes and corrected them OR as Burnett was taking the statement from Baker he was adding details that Baker wasn't even saying and when Baker read over the statement he was shocked to discover these irrational additions.
Both are very silly theories born out of the need for Oswald to not have a coke in his hand when Baker first saw him.
Burnett simply dictated what Baker was saying. This was witnessed by Burnett AND Bobby Hargis.
Why couldn't Baker remember which floor it was?
The affidavit was taken ten months after the event itself and six months after his WC testimony. It all seemed done and dusted but then, out of nowhere, he has suddenly got an FBI agent insisting on another affidavit. He couldn't quite remember which floor it was but when he read through the statement he remembered it was definitely the 2nd floor, so he corrected the mistake. No big deal. Some people seem to think Baker wasn't then sharpest tool in the shed at the best of times.
Why did Baker say that the man in the lunchroom was drinking a coke?
Because that's what he remembered happening.
The idea that Burnett just threw it in there is laughable.
As is the idea that the fleeing assassin decided to stop off for a coke.
As is the idea that Baker saw Oswald moving through the vestibule door window.
Oswald reportedly told the officers questioning him that he was having his lunch in the domino room around the time of the shooting (which is when he saw Jarman and Norman making there way around to the west elevator). He then went up to the 2nd floor lunchroom and had just purchased a coke when Baker came in.
If this is true we can dispense with the ridiculous notion that the fleeing assassin stopped off for a coke.
We can also dispense with the apparent impossibility of Baker seeing Oswald moving through the vestibule door window. It makes more sense that Baker moved over to the vestibule door, looked through the window and saw Oswald in the lunchroom at the coke machine.
