So many of the "inconsistencies" of conspiracy theories, be it JFK, Apollo, 9/11, or whatever, are either not inconsistencies at all or are apparently fever dreams of whatever unsound mind came up with the conspiracy theory in the first place. However, most of those who cite said "inconsistencies" never bother to find out if they're true or not, so they pass them on, and we end up hearing about them over and over and over again.

As Mr. Miyagi says in The Karate Kid, Part II, "Hit nail on head." In this case, one witness evidently misremembered seeing a body bag and a gray shipping casket (having likely seen many other bodies arrive at Bethesda in that condition), and the faulty memory immeditately becomes a "fact" in conspiracy land.
