In his WEB page, Dale Myers indirectly acknowledged that he could not
align JFK and JBC properly for a SBT scenario at Z223. 

He did a good job of matching the positions of his computer models to the
victims in the Zapruder film, though I would question whether Connally was
turned the app. 17 degrees right he shows in the attached GIF. Many people
believe JBC was turned closer to 10 degrees.

But even with that, he *still* fails to bring JBC's armpit/back wound far
enough to the left to fall into correct alignment with the JFK neck wound!


In the file, MYERS.GIF, he illustrates the margin for error with a red
cone, which is extremely misleading. While cones are excellent when we
have no idea where a shot came from, in this case we know a trajectory
from the SN to JBC would be between 16 and 17 degrees. Therefore, his
margin for error should have been represented by a series of 16-17 degree
parallel lines. The cone he presents gives the false impression that we
can honestly consider angles as small as a couple of degrees. 

I overlayed two lines in this picture. One, shows the trajectory which
would strike JBC's armpit location - the other would be consistent with
JFK's back and neck wounds. The two lines are much too far apart to be
reconciled by anything less than some drastic repositioning of the
victims; IOW, well beyond Myers' 5% margin for error.

Perhaps we can persuade Mr. Myers to simulate the positions of the two men
at Z186-187 where Governor Connally is turned considerably further to his
right. The results might surprise a lot of us.
