My further question is how he would know if any given shot missed? He might have assumed a shot that he didn't see hit could have gone through a seatback and floorboard, or through the dash. My point here is that he might not have known whether he missed the president by an inch or the limousine by twenty feet. Unless he could see precisely where the errant bullet went he would have no idea how to correct for it. He may not even have been aware that one of his shots missed at all.

I respect your opinion if you don't think it was a conspiracy as I don't know for sure. My opinion is it is a very low percentage that Oswald acted alone. But possible? Yes.
Your post might have crossed with mine, which is only two above it. My opinion isn't that I don't think there was a conspiracy. My only opinion is that I don't know, and I don't accept statements as factual from people who don't know either. I also don't believe in percentages. Did Oswald act alone? I don't know. Was there a conspiracy? I don't know. I don't even care. If evidence comes out to prove there was a conspiracy, all the people like Bubblehead are going to crow "See? I told you so!", and people like me will say "Hmm. It's nice to see some real proof." If evidence comes out that proves there was no conspiracy, all the conspiracy theorists will be saying it was contrived, and proves nothing, and people like me will say "Hmm. Maybe now we can get on with our lives." This is the difference between the honest researcher and the True Believer. My only stake in all this is to understand the truth, and hope to find out what that truth may be. I have no opinion one way or the other, and can only wait for some real evidence to turn up that proves one story or the other. Other than that I don't really care.
