You wanna take a stab at it? Or are you going to push it down the memory hole again?

Your question is moot.  Something is either the same direction or it is not.

You're simply being obtuse. Deliberately so, I think. Direction is a measurement, and any measurement has some level of precision to it. I'm pretty sure you're smart enough to already know that. The question I asked is about that: how precise are human beings with direction?
This question can be easily answered by noting that "human-measurable" scales regarding direction don't get any more precise than a 16 point compass rose. So direction in this case, is only accurate to within +/- 11 degrees. And that definitely puts any of the posited GK positions in the same direction as the TSBD, at least as far as the TP witnesses are concerned.

It's not that hard to understand, unless you simply refuse to. And you seem to be trying pretty hard to not understand.

You made that claim -- you didn't actually substantiate it.  But that's irrelevant anyway.  If something's not the same, then it's not the same.  Stop pretending that "close to some arbitrary measure of closeness" equals "the same".

If you had just said 3 degrees off or whatever, then we wouldn't be having this argument.

Further proof that your sole purpose here is to argue; nothing more.

Says the guy who spent weeks arguing over the difference between "Brennan saw the man with a gun" and Brennan saw a man with a gun".

Same direction does not mean 11 degrees off.  Especially when that figure is just pulled out of nowhere.  Same direction means same direction.

And you believe you had no part in that argument?

You play devil's advocate, nothing more.  It serves a purpose some of the time but it's worthless most of the time.

More worthless rhetoric to try to distract from the fact that you have a lousy case.

Anyone who says that the case against Oswald for the assassination of President Kennedy is "lousy" simply is not familiar with all of the evidence in the case.  Oswald probably killed Kennedy and probably did it alone.

Anyone who says that the case against Oswald for the murder of J.D. Tippit is "lousy" is definitely not familiar with all of the evidence in the case.  Oswald definitely killed Tippit and he definitely did it alone.

Your problem; not mine.
