All you have on video, Mr O'Meara, is Mr Oswald confirming his location at the time of the assassination: Texas School Book Depository. He's happy to confirm that he was there and nowhere else.
Suppose the exchange with the reporter had gone as follows-------------
REPORTER: Where in the building were you at the time?
MR OSWALD: Front entrance steps.
Are you seriously suggesting Mr Oswald's response would have been incorrect or misleading, or that he should have gone into semantics with the reporter?
As for why the Hosty draft report beats a) your tendentious interpretation of Mr Oswald's actual response to the reporter + b) Mr Holmes' muddled recall months after the event, the answer is obvious:
The words "Then went outside to watch P. parade" are:
------------------matchlessly unambiguous (not "went outside to see what was happening/to see the commotion/excitement, etc")
------------------written on the back of a blank DPD affidavit form, i.e. while the memory of Mr Oswald's first interrogation is still fresh
------------------found on a page of an FBI agent's official draft report that contains plenty other information that no one is suggesting is erroneous
If you disagree with this last point, take a look at the page and tell us what else (other than the explosive "Then went outside to watch P. parade") you believe Agent Hosty hallucinated Mr Oswald as having said:
To suggest that Agent Hosty misheard or completely misunderstood what the suspect had to say about the single most critical question in the single most momentous case he or anyone else had ever been involved in is just fanciful in the extreme.
Not at all! Mr Oswald is the only credible candidate thus far put forward for Prayer Man. And you still can't come up with an alternative credible candidate! 
Well, those same eyes were recently telling you Prayer Man was lighting a cigarette. How did that work out?
Admit it, Mr O'Meara, if it were possible to identify Prayer Man as Mr Billy Lovelady, you'd be enthusiastically backing that I.D. and telling us all how obvious it is that Prayer Man is a slim white male in worker's garb-----------
Unfortunately for you, and for all the other members of Team Keep LHO Away From Them Steps, Mr Lovelady is not available to make Prayer Man safe. And nor, it would appear from your responses to date, is anyone else!
"All you have on video, Mr O'Meara, is Mr Oswald confirming his location at the time of the assassination: Texas School Book Depository. He's happy to confirm that he was there and nowhere else."All I have is Oswald on video confirming he was in the building at the time of the assassination, corroborated by Holmes. The insane mental gymnastics involved in arguing that out on the front steps of the building is 'still in the building' are spooky. Nobody looks at it that way except for the zealous PM crew. The front door is right there, on one side is in the building on the other is outside the building. Please don't respond to this comment as I've heard all I need to hear about it.

Brilliant stuff. More fantasia Mr Ford! Suppose the exchange went like this:
REPORTER: Where in the building were you at the time?
OSWALD: I'm Prayer Man.

Why has this not crossed your mind. In PM world Oswald must be seen as a completely innocent bystander. Is that the case? Do you believe that Oswald had nothing whatsoever to do with the assassination?
"Not at all! Mr Oswald is the only credible candidate thus far put forward for Prayer Man. And you still can't come up with an alternative credible candidate! "Oswald is not even remotely credible. The single piece of evidence you have put forward for Prayer Man even being a man, let alone Oswald, is that the Shadow Person has a receding hairline. This is wrong. You are seeing what you want to see. What else do you have to offer on this subject. What other piece of evidence makes you believe this is a man?
"Well, those same eyes were recently telling you Prayer Man was lighting a cigarette. How did that work out?"
This Gif shows someone lighting a cigarette. Frame 1, the head tilts forward to light the cigarette (not something you would do if taking a drink out of a bottle). Frame 2, head straightens up and blows out a cloud of smoke. The Coke bottle on the steps is almost certainly Lovelady's.
"Admit it, Mr O'Meara, if it were possible to identify Prayer Man as Mr Billy Lovelady, you'd be enthusiastically backing that I.D. and telling us all how obvious it is that Prayer Man is a slim white male in worker's garb-----------"Lovelady is just in front of the Shadow Person listening to Gloria Calvery. Note that all these people re-entering the building also fail to identify Oswald.
Admit it Mr Ford, you've put too much time and effort into this nonsense and you can't back out now. You end up making bizarre arguments like outside the building is still in the building because you simply cannot back out now. You need to be the Prayer Man, Mr Ford, and pray something never comes to light to show how misguided Team Oswald On The Steps have been.
