Bullshit. The universe isn't fine tuned for us, we have a puny shred of boundary between space and molten radioactive stone we can live on, and that's it.
You, and other CT'rs look at the problem from the wrong end. You assume he went to the repository looking for a job in advance planning of killing kennedy, because hey, what are the odds right, that the universe would be so finely tuned as to bring Kennedy within range of a murderous asshole that might take a shot at him?
But that's not the way it works. He went within range of said murderous asshole. End of story. It isn't complex, or improbable. If the president hadn't come by, you can safely assume Oswald keeps taking shots at whatever people HE perceived to be of importance, that he had access to, until he otherwise got caught.
If the president had gone somewhere else, it might have been a different murderous asshole some other time and place. Or perhaps none at all.
There is no indication that anything precipitated this event beyond the fact that they announced that the parade would carry the president nearby. That may have been the only decision point in Oswald leading up to the shooting. Anything beyond that requires the wholesale invention of motive where there is no evidence of any.
As for his inconsistency/responses, you assume rationality where there obviously is none.
