No, Backes. What I said is that when people read the newspaper, they don't read the whole paper. They read some of it, but they don't read all of it. They don't read every word. 

So, if Oswald picked up the newspaper, and it just contained the motorcade route in the text, buried in the text, and indistinguishable from the other text, how can you be sure he read it? 

Look at all the times that people pick up a newspaper to read a specific thing. For instance: the sports page. Or, the comics. Or, the stock prices. Or, the classifieds. How does anyone know what Oswald would have honed in on when he picked up a newspaper?

Oswald didn't know that the motorcade was going to pass the building. What proves it is the testimony of James Jarman. And no, Backes, it's not that I believe the Warren Commission. It's that I believe James Jarman.

Mr. BALL - Did you talk to him again that morning? 
Mr. JARMAN - Yes, sir. I talked to him again later on that morning.
Mr. BALL - About what time?
Mr. JARMAN - It was between 9:30 and 10 o'clock, I believe.
Mr. BALL - Where were you when you talked to him?
Mr. JARMAN - In between two rows of bins.
Mr. BALL - On what floor?
Mr. JARMAN - On the first floor.
Mr. BALL - And what was said by him and by you?
Mr. JARMAN - Well, he was standing up in the window and I went to the window also, and he asked me what were the people gathering around on the corner for, and I told him that the President was supposed to pass that morning, and he asked me did I know which way he was coming, and I told him, yes; he probably come down Main and turn on Houston and then back again on Elm. Then he said, "Oh, I see," and that was all.
