Explosion at the Boston Marathon.

No. When you look at the photo and wonder if That Guy might be "Suspect 1", I suppose you can call that a hypothesis; but looking at the photo again really hard doesn't count as "testing the hypothesis".

Having other sets of eyes evaluate the data in the presence of noise is all the testing that's available to me. At some point, the hypothesis may be confirmed (by other photos showing the relevant section of the scene more clearly), or refuted (by the same sort of data), or it may remain indeterminate.

What caused the dinosaurs to go extinct? When scientists wondered if it was comets, or volcanoes, or egg-eating mammals, or something else, they were just taking uneducated guesses. People investigate all kinds of things which may never be known. That's life.

Yes, it was pointed out earlier that this could also suggest they are not from the area and were not worried about anyone recognizing them.

On the scene, absolutely, makes perfect sense if it was going to be a low profile crime but this bombing appears to me to be someone wanting to make a statement on a national level. They would have to know that it was possible or even likely that their image would be circulated by the feds across the country in the hopes of tracking them down. Just doesn't seem like they had any care at all about such an eventuality which to me implies what I said previously - they want to be caught or don't expect to have to worry about it.

Just to be clear though, all of what I have said is predicated on the two people identified as suspects as being the actual bombers, something that is definitely not proven at this point.

I just now confirmed that. Both guys are wearing hooded sweatshirts under their jackets. The one that white hat is wearing is lighter-colored as compared to the other guy.

But I don't think we ever see white hat with sunglasses.

I agree with you there. I think the bomber seen by the man in the hospital is Suspect #1 (dark hat).

Well, if we are going to check for other pics of the two, we are going to see things. :)

I have no doubt of that, the question is whether or not what you see is at all useful and/or substantive?

But now it all makes perfect sense why the FBI said they want people to send images/video to them, as Checkmite clarified (thanks again, Checkmite!) That's obviously because they thought that people were going to do the crazy kind of "photo investigation" going on in this thread. In short, give the FBI data so that they can analyze it; don't try to analyze it for them.

I shall rescind much of my criticism of what the FBI did now, but I maintain my criticism of the astonishing lack of critical thinking here.

If they were from another country, they might not even care about posing in front of a camera.

As you said though, speculation.

I do recall the FBI saying they have vid of white hat guy actually placing the bomb near the mailbox. They haven't released it.

You're arguing for the Truther Method. I honestly can't believe you really see a difference between this blurry-photo-gazing and the blurry-photo-gazing that is the foundation of a significant percentage of 9/11 Truth claims - unless your decision is based solely on the fact that you're not "one of those people", so it's okay when you do it.

Or Bigfoot claims. Or ghost claims. Or alien spacecraft claims. Or... :rolleyes:
 
FBI said that both guys acted odd after the blasts. They lingered to watch the carnage without any negative reaction. Walking calmly the whole time. This combined with other visual evidence convinced them that these are the guys.

Just like in the movies.
