Forgive the interuption, I was just wondering about a particular point. Assuming, for the sake of argument, that Patty's fingers really do bend and it's not an illusion as shown by the doll hand comparison
A quick re-cap for you, Marcus...
The 'doll-hand illusion' presents an
illusion of fingers
straightening.....not an
illusion of fingers
bending.
What has been disputed by the "Good Skeptic" is the
bending of Patty's fingers....(not whether or not her fingers were ever
straight.....that is beyond dispute.)
Since the doll hand thingy
does not produce/present/purport to show an
'illusion of bending'......it therefore, thereby, and there-ever-after
HAS NO RELEVANCE to the question of whether Patty's fingers
actually bent, or not.
why would this be a point in your favor?
Putting these 2 facts
together...
1) Patty's fingers were
moving/bending, at the last joint, near the end of the fingers...
2) Her arm-length was
longer than an 'average human's' arms, for her particular height....
....means that,
if it was a suit, then either... A) some type of device would have been necessary in the hands of the suit, for the actor to cause the fingers to bend at that last joint....or.... B) the person inside the suit had to have exceptionally long arms, for his body height.
Patty's
'fingers bending, with exceptionally long arms' doesn't
prove that Patty
isn't a 'guy-in-a-suit'....but it's simply one
specific point, which needs to be analyzed/determined....in building as
clear a picture as possible, as to the details of Patty's physical body, and her movements.
'Analysis' is all about bringing out
as many facts as possible....(however small)....to produce as
clear a picture as possible, of
whatever the subject is, that is
un-clear.
It's ridiculously easy to make fingers bend, a mechanical device is not even required, simple strings running down into the fingers pulled by Bob's fingers would dothe trick.
The TRICK is to explain why Bobby-Boo has
NEVER mentioned anything about any type of finger-bending device in the hands of the "suit" he allegedly wore.
Perhaps he didn't notice the device....even as he
made the fingers bend.....as he also did not notice the massive amount of custom-formed, thick padding across his whole back, and sides.....and the massive butt padding.....along with a tad of pad around the thighs.
