:::So why was the "Fidel" who supposedly met the [[Pope]] wearing a heavy scarf on a hot day, and stood much shorter than the real Fidel? See [[Mystery:Did a Fake Fidel Castro Meet the Pope?]]--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 18:56, 26 February 2013 (EST)

::::Well, I can't say the presence of a scarf is particularly convincing. Alone, it certainly isn't. It does remind me of my late great-grandfather, however. Despite his doctor's urging, he would continue to wear wool pants every day, be it summer, spring, fall, or winter. That's something I've noticed about the elderly. As a CNA, I've found that our seniors are very sensitive to the cold.
::::Then there's also the question of what the scarf would be hiding. Looking at the photographs of Castro meeting with the pontiff, I see that his neck is covered. On the Mystery page, it is said that this is because it is difficult to replicate older age with a neck. Then why didn't they just procure an older actor? Surely this wouldn't be beyond the Cuban government's means.
:::: Similarly,if they were to rely on prosthetics to emulate a deceased Castro, why couldn't they have picked a taller actor?
::::Again, we are faced with two possibilities. Either Castro is alive, or he is dead. There is no evidence that he is dead, and barring a conspiracy involving the world's media, actors, and makeup, there is evidence that Fidel Castro yet lives. According to Occam's razor, the hypothesis making the least assumptions is the preferable one. --[[User:CamilleT|CamilleT]] 09:26, 7 March 2013 (EST)
:Well there is one news source[http://www.theonion.com/articles/humiliated-team-of-cuban-doctors-forced-to-continu,31448/] that claims Castro is dead :). -[[User:EdgarP|EdgarP]] 20:40, 26 February 2013 (EST)
