Well, there's no convincing evidence for string theory, yet, and we're not giving up on that.
Berating conspiracy theorists for lacking evidence has always struck me as rather unscientific. You invent hypotheses and then gather evidence, right?, not the other way around. If you totally disregard hypotheses that lack evidence, no one would ever gather evidence and there'd be a moratorium on new ideas.
It's only been sixty years, and that's nuthin. Sometimes it takes centuries to solve a murder.

In re: thread title question. The Warren Commission Report was meant to lay the basis for a national consensus.
Obv it failed in its stated purpose. But it came close enough that it achieved its major unstated purpose, which was to quell the national grief and anger and prevent it from spilling into irrational mob action.

The Wrong Guy, a dark comedy starring Dave Foley, includes a scene of a conspiracy theorist claiming no bullet struck Kennedy, insisting "his head just did that", and calls it "The No Bullet Theory".

if it weren't for the fact that it occurred during JFK's assassination, that photo would be remembered as the best ass photo for a First Lady.

I watched the old James Woods film True Believer last night. The character on whom the main story hinges adamantly believes that AT & T was behind the Kennedy assassination. Yes, it's played for laughs.

Yeah, this. I'm thinking of Ant Farm's The Eternal Frame but I don't know that film well enough to be able to conclusively say if this is from that or not.

Frame from The Eternal Frame, mentioned above. Seems very possible this could be the source of the "mystery jpg." They performed it, I think, 10 or 12 times in one day, on the hour - - so there will inevitably be details that don't match.

from recent article on robert caro:
"I get letters, constantly, saying, 'I see your book's coming. I hope you're going to prove in this book that LBJ did it,"' the award-winning and ongoing biographer of Lyndon Johnson says during a recent interview at his midtown Manhattan office. "Did it," as in killed President Kennedy."When I talk at colleges, you can hardly have a lecture or a speech without one of the first questions being, 'Are you going to prove that Johnson did it?' Or, 'Are you going to show that Johnson was involved in it?' And when you say Johnson had nothing to with it, you can feel the audience doesn't accept it. You lose your audience."
