    Anything today can appear on camera to look genuine. every look grimace on a persons face can be displayed and taken out of context to suit. We live in a world of make belief. JS

    It is now the world of AI that is in control..
    As to JFK, no matter the full story I doubt if it will be told any time soon.
    Will maybe in 100 years or so come to light, but until then who knows??

    Probably know about the same time as if the watch currently advertised in many magazines as 'guaranteed accurate to within 1 second in every 10 thousand years' is that accurate or not.

    How would they know that?
    Many years ago I was sat next to a Swiss guy on a flight and he told me he was a salesman for electronic watch movements and that(at that time) there were only two types available, the cheap one at 50p was accurate to half a second, the expensive one (£1) accurate to 1/10 second. The money was in the case and strap.

    How we have advanced over the years. All those years at sea and never a perfect chronometer. Everyone had a daily rate and had to know what correction to apply to get GMT. Cheers JS

    Then the Las Palmas watch.
    It would tick and look good.
    Very cheap you may think.
    Back o board about an hour after sailing the bloody thing would stop.
    Open up, nothing inside,.
    How did it tick, who knows
    Happy daze John in Oz.
