93. spoken like a person with zero understanding of the process of historical discovery.
your entire argument is based on the specious assertion that nothing more will ever be known about the kennedy assassination.

first, how can you possibly know what will or won't become known in the future? you can't. you must first understand that.

second, historians, experts trained in working with historical data, continue to work on such matters long after the events. do you think, for instance, that nothing more will ever be known about the civil war, or how humans lived before written history?

to take a more recent example, your argument seems to suggest that you would believe there is nothing more we could know about watergate. but then deep throat pops up and announces himself.

you seem incapable of serious thought or discussion. you latched on to an idea and won't let it go, no matter how wrong.
