## Where it stands

**Most likely** Its tests partly supported it: two pieces of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Witnesses' details (hairless, grey suits, missing fingers, body bags, a hospital episode) match the dummy and accident records.
- No 1947 record mentions bodies.

## What would rule it out
