12. Personal testimony is the worst type of evidence
One of the many reasons so many innocent people are on death row today.

Also why would one expect a recounting of events several years later to be more accurate than when one first stated them? I certainly don't think my memory of watching the challanger disaster is any more clear or vivid then when I saw it in 1986.

That is why we must focus on the Zapruder film itself and not other people's recollections of the film. Recollections are not tangible.
