I thought the Dead Cat Strategy was much more complex and philosophical to do with things like paradox like Schrödinger's cat. However I discover it is merely
However some rather pathetic "nudge, nudge say no more" innuendo that Wake-Walker's family had high society connections is not shocking and sensational enough to divert us from demanding that the "Silver Bullet" be deployed immediately. It is more like attempting to divert us with a cutesy video of a kitten playing with a ball of string. Irrelevant.There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don’t mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point is that everyone will shout, ‘Jeez, mate, there’s a dead cat on the table!’ In other words, they will be talking about the dead cat – the thing you want them to talk about – and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief.
Alberto, You really need to learn the difference between facts and opinions. Here's a start from Wikipedia
In the study of history as an academic discipline, a primary source (also called original source or evidence) is an artifact, document, diary, manuscript, autobiography, recording, or any other source of information that was created at the time under study.

The only document which does, Tovey's 1961 letter, is not a primary source at all because it is not a "source of information that was created at the time under study".
Barnes' answer is the inverse of evidence of a threat.

All the best
