Mr. MacRae
As Mr. Lamson seems to be desperately avoiding the question, perhaps you could tell this forum how Mr. Rather was able to see the violent forward motion of JFK's head, if that entire forward motion took place in one frame (1/18.3 second) of the Zapruder film?
Poor bobby, you are SO technically inept.
Ever heard of slow speed playback? Frame by frame playback?
You seem to (wrongly) assume the film had to be viewed at a single playback speed. (And what playback speed would that be bobby?)
Again I was not there, so I don't know how the film was viewed by Dan Rather. Neither do you.
But one thing is abundantly clear, you simply don't have a clue how REALITY works.
You should have quite MANY posts ago.
Mr. Lamson
I don't suppose you could verify for us that Mr. Rather was awarded the privilege of viewing the Zapruder film at anything other than normal speed?
Even if Mr. Rather watched the Zapruder film in frame by frame stop action, it is inconceivable that he would have been able to discern the small forward action of JFK's head in the single frame, z312. This motion was only discerned years after the assassination, when technology was developed to allow enhancement of the Zapruder film for analytical purposes. And, small and brief as the forward movement was, it is inconceivable that Mr. Rather would have described it as a "violent forward motion".
That being said, we are still left with the question you CANNOT or WILL NOT answer; how was Mr. Rather able to see the forward motion of JFK's head in z312, if that entire forward motion of JFK's head took place in just one frame of the Zapruder film?
The bold-faced statement above is incorrect. All it took Professor Feynman was a ruler and a copy of the WC volume showing the Z-film frames.
He noted to Lifton the head moves forward after the bullet strikes. All this was covered in Lifton's tome, Best Evidence.
It took the development of no technology that wasn't available in 1963.
In 1967, Josiah Thompson put a nice little chart in an appendix to his book, Six Seconds in Dallas, graphically showing the movement of the head relative to fixed points in the limo. Again, this took only some push pins and a ruler, according to Thompson.
I fail to see what technology you are speaking of. Could you elaborate? It's not a ruler or push-pins, I don't think.
