You have a point. Sketches are really for generating leads... they are weak evidence. Sketch A is not even human, nose way too small, looks way too young, no complexion.. and the FBI said B is the best likeness, witnesses thought it was excellent. Ryan needs clickbait for his book. So, he invented A being better. Good luck with that.

The FBI made the claim it was the best, some witnesses liked it better. They are all absurd.. Flo liked A and B, then claimed none were any good.. reliable? Hahneman has nothing to do with this, you pull that out for your endless strawman tactics when you have nothing and are losing. Anyone who doesn't agree with your made up nonsense is biased.. This is a pattern, I have the same position as the FBI but I am accused of being biased. Is it in your book? Better be careful.. I have receipts. You are wrong on sketch A being better, you have nothing to back it up.

So, the FBI just didn't understand that doing a sketch a year later was irrelevant.. and falsely claimed it was the best likeness... based on all the witnesses liking it. They didn't figure it out because it isn't true, it is just something you invented to support sketch A..

You are making an assumption, a very bad one.. The reason was for age and complexion... to get better leads and stop wasting time on poor ones. The primary goal of a sketch is to get quality leads.. Sketch A was not doing that. The fact is they used a better process for B and everyone liked it.

The claim from Galen via the FBI was that Flo suffered from anxiety vs Mitchell who was a more neutral observer,, he was not in fear of his life but got a close look at the hijacker. This is objectively true. Ryan needs either Galen or the FBI to be lying.. I just don't accept that... there is no indication they are and it makes perfect sense. Objectively, based on circumstances Mitchell being a more neutral observer would be more reliable. There is no reason for the FBI or Galen to lie. That moves us to the sketch,, the reason for the difference between A and B is still unresolved. As far as I can tell the stews Alice and Flo probably had more influence for sketch A.. not sure about Tina... the other passengers had reviewed it but little or no input. Sketch A was created very quickly in a personal interview.. Sketch B was a completely different process, more reliable. It took longer with more feedback from all witnesses. The stews were also interviewed in person for sketch B. Everybody really liked B except maybe Tina who claimed she didn't see Cooper's face.. The FBI also concluded it was the best likeness. So, where did the change come from.. did all the stews memories alter or was the additional input from the other witnesses. How do so many witnesses like sketch B.. IMO, it was a more comprehensive process. I recognize the attribution error Ryan found but don't accept it as the reason for sketch B, it was incidental. Also, I am convinced that sketch B is more accurate based on process, the claim that earlier is better is a general concept but only when the process is the same. The process for sketch A and B was not the same. Further, I have that undisclosed Cooper image and it is closer to B.. Flo was understandably shaken by the hijacker's threat..

I read that as meeting with three, but first meeting with 2 together, Flo and Alice.. then with Tina showing her the sketch prepared. Rose said he met with 2 which was probably the first meeting with Flo and Alice.

Are you saying that Flo gave no new input for B. an aside but Rose said he interviewed 2 stews for A.. This seems to say two, then the third was shown the result.

So why was B so different from A..

So, it is your position that the reason the reason the sketches look different is because Flo's memory changed.

Yes, I have a psychological defect because I don't agree with your argument.. check the mirror. I genuinely don't agree with your position, so have no reason to admit I am wrong. You have an opinion.. What you have mixed up is relativeness. Less Flo more Mitchell for B v A. Simple objective fact. The argument is less Flo not no Flo for B. Fact is Flo played a more significant role overall in producing A than B. If she played a greater role in B then why is it so different... has to be a reason why they are so different... Flo was emotional, she participated in two sketches and later said none were right.

First thing you need to be careful of,, that is a summary written from agent notes usually by a third party.. it is not verbatim from Alice. For example,, it does not say she saw Dan Cooper board with a briefcase 12 by 18... This is a general statement recalling her knowledge not what she actually saw... usually the FBI puts witness statements in quotes to be precise. If it was Alice said "I saw..." that would be different.

Mitchell was not certain he was last to board, just that he was close to the end.

Alice saw the briefcase later as well, she is probably recalling that impression for measurements.

The argument doesn't go both ways. Flo noticed because it was her job to check boarding passengers. Gregory and Mitchell not recalling Dan Cooper boarding is not a big deal at all.

Your conclusion is flawed... Neither remembered seeing him board. That is not the same as not seeing him board and Cooper not boarding near the end. Dan Cooper was not yet the "suspicious guy" and hijacker so he was not drawing attention at that time. They could have seen him board but didn't remember or just didn't notice. That doesn't mean he didn't board near the end. Michael Cooper's account is not credible. He recently claimed he could still recognize and pick out Cooper.. He was not primary witness. An aside,, my current working theory is that Cooper flew into PDX earlier that day,,
