Just because someone does not swallow everything the government feeds to them, does not make them a kook. You sound like a cop.

Nor does it make them not kooks. Vast conspiracies known only to the unappreciated few make good stories or movies but real life seems more mundane and simple.
A single shooter is more likely than several because as Ben Franklin is quoted, “Two may keep a secret if one of them is dead”.
Oswald didn’t need any help. It only took one man to shoot, it only required a single place to shoot from, it only required a minimum of preparation ahead of time.
I.E., simple plans have the best chance of success and no vast conspiracy is needed, in fact conspiracies often fail because too many people are involved not too few.
Kooks find that not just hard to believe but impossible to believe since it would mean they don’t have superior knowledge and insight unlike the rest of us.
The kooks latch on to the unexplained and unexplainable 1% to discount the clear and reasonable 99%. That’s what makes them and their followers “kooks”.
The truth is usually simple, it’s the lies that are complicated.
