I think it "does matter." I want to know the truth. I've looked at this story objectively from both sides. I've indicated which side I think is closer to the truth.
I also don't care if Posner looks like a snake or that he may defend Clinton at times, as others have indicated. Tbose are emotional responses, not logical or based on fact.
Well, as I noted, we are most unlikely ever to get "the truth" (or at least a "truth" that will satisfy everyone).
What I find most interesting is speculating on how this country would look today, had JFK not been murdered.
Would he have been defeated in 1964?
Would Vietnam have unfolded as badly as it did?
Would Nixon have been elected, run an incompetent and downright crooked Administration and discredited the Republican Party for years to come? (Oh wait, he was and he did).
How would the Cold War have turned out?
Are there historical forces that move us along, or is history determined by the actions of a few key individuals?
Or both?
I could probably write a novel based on any one of these questions- and the dozens of others hat occur to me, or to anyone who thinks about the last 40 years of American history.
The assassination was a major turning point, and speculation about it will continue as long as there is a United States.
Do you really think "having fun" is a valid reason for the perpetuation of all these innane theories?

Your lack of objectivity is showing in the 'inane' remark..
The most 'inane' theory of all, the one that started all the rest, was the single bullet theory put forth in the Report. Even those who formulated it, & approved of it at the time, have now admitted it has flaws.
Those who insist upon "Case Closed" are just as non-objective as the more radical conspiracy nuts.
The case will never be closed.
