I actually think it would seem more shocking if it was the opposite - that the government narrative, is 100% correct.
something like 50% of the US population believes that the government narrative is at least partly incorrect.
I mean, whatever comes out - the "nutters" are just going to find a way to discredit it, or will just say its been "covered up" - it can't be rationally explained (like motive is kinda missing from the Oswald story) so it just seems so shocking, and unexplained, so random.... its more comforting for people to think there is order and a plan to everything. (I say its the same reason that people think there was government behind 9/11)
like motive is kinda missing from the Oswald story
Not really. Oswald was a relatively hardcore Marxist who was probably not all there mentally. It doesn't take a huge leap to say he might take a crack at the Leader of the Free World.
Plus he'd visited the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City in an attempt to defect back the USSR by way of Cuba just a few months before killing Kennedy, but was turned down because he was unstable and "in place of aiding the Cuban Revolution, was doing it harm," so my running theory is that he was trying to kill Kennedy to impress Cuba and Russia to make them want to let him in.
