Anyone who has seen the movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray and 
Andie McDowell, one of my favorites movies, understands one of the 
thematic tropes for the second gunman hypothesis.

I would stack up the time-travel metaphysics of Groundhog's Day 
versus any alternative.

I just realized the best way to frame the 'time travel' theory side 
of my arguement .. the movie Groundhog's Day ..

please don't overlook what I'll call the intuitive part of my 
argument either:

1) i don't like the current PoA explanation of Harry saving Harry
2) there is enough ambiguity that other explanations are possible
3) other possible explanations could be important plot twists / 
revelations, so logically, since the story isn't fully turned yet, 
it will get turned further

Thanks for all those participating in rehashing this element of PoA 
after the passages on time travel in OOP. I'm enjoying this 
discussion.
