You know, let's say he did open some gifts in the wine cellar Christmas afternoon. That screws up the scenario of those BDIs who claim that Burke got angry when JonBenet caught him and struck her on the head because she was still alive in the afternoon.
You've just highlighted one of many problems with BDI. Within the same theory it bounces back and forth between scenarios, jumps into rabbit holes it cant escape, and then it wants you to believe "it answers all questions" and "makes the most sense".
Now its got Jonbenet not only trying to open these gifts herself, but also dragging a chair in there to conveniently open what's on the verge of becoming her own tomb. But if this doesn't make sense to the reader and is on the verge of them realizing it doesn't fly, it can quickly morph back to Burke doing this part and they can magically become Christmas presents again!
Like I said in the other thread, on its razor thin surface it sounds possible and "makes sense" as they say. Once any digging into the theory starts, it all unravels to the point it needs multiple scenarios going on simultaneously in an attempt to keep it afloat.
One of BDI's biggest advocates here now says "the case
looks PDI" yet at the same time says "PDI is dead in the water".
It doesn't compute.
Since the beginning, BDI's biggest problem of all is PDI in general. It cant explain away Patsy being all over this crime scene so it attempts to turn her into a background character. She's ignorant. She's asleep. She's not talking to him. It doesn't work. Patsy's head keeps appearing in the story telling them they're going down the wrong path...
Its like that old game whack-a-mole. As BDI goes over its theory, Patsy's head continually pops up and they have to hit her with a mallet to keep her out of the equation but she keeps popping back up. She'll
always keep popping back up no matter how big the attempt to marginalize her and/or make it appear as if Burke outshines everyone else in the case.
It also uses this tactic with John. He is completely clueless and it offers two scenarios(that sometimes intertwine):
He's in on the coverup with Patsy
He is completely clueless to the unfolding events until he finds her body even though he's been doing some basement spring cleaning hours earlier
Follow the evidence as they say. No need to jump through hoops with a basket on your head while working a Rubix cube in each hand while riding a unicycle.
UK....
I'm flying with Kolar's BDI until it breaks down, so far it raises more questions.
Its already crashed and burned.
I thought BDI said it answers all questions? All its doing is raising more questions than it answers. As it continues to dig holes it cant possibly get out of, it starts burying itself in questions that can never be answered and simply leads to more questions. Now some BDI say no matter which DI is true, Burke's in on it somehow.
The theory is quickly smothering itself in its outlandish scenarios.
