Robert will you take a minute and address it?
First, this is not my "pet theory". In fact, it is not a theory at all. It is simply and attempt to answer questions which everyone who is interested in this case, needs to address.
1. What caused these simultaneous reactions, following frame 285?

2. Why did most of the relevant witnesses only hear one early shot and why was no one visibly startled by those shots?
3. Why did most witnesses hear two closely bunched shots at the end of the attack?
4. Why did the Nobel prize winning physicist, Dr. Luis Alvarez, determine that there was a loud and startling noise, at frame 285?
So far, I can only think of one plausible answer. Can you think of another?
I'm not sure what you mean by a "consilience". Most researchers and authors who have studied this crime, have concluded that it was a conspiracy. That includes the head of the federal, HSCA investigation, as well as numerous Phds in various fields.
In recent years, we have been deluged with television documentaries which claim to have refuted the notion of conspiracy in the JFK case, but think back about the ones you have seen.
- one bullet passed through JFK and Connally, therefore, Oswald acted alone.
- the fatal shot at 313 came from the rear, therefore, Oswald acted alone.
- a laser test suggests that the fatal shot may have come from the alleged sniper's nest, therefore Oswald acted alone. (there's a bit more to that, btw)
But do you see a pattern here? None of those "proof", really prove anything related to the question of whether Oswald was the only shooter. And in fact, there is a plethora of evidence which proves that he did not.
And that evidence is all that matters. I wouldn't care in the slightest, if every expert on the planet thought otherwise. All that matters are the facts and evidence.
