 I think I have not been very clear (once again... ): this was not a quick and dirty supposition, this was an analysis of the rumint which was emitted on the "Spences Bridge" case. To be more precise: for me, even if this radar bleep is one day officially confirmed as a possible track, it still won't match.
To my knowledge, at this time we don't have at our disposal any intermediate "report" (e.g. media squeak) *between* Revelstoke and Lytton. This means that Ron Boychuk has not been sighted, did not make any radio contact, was not "caught" by any radar between Revelstoke and this very far and mostly hypothetical "lone radar hit outside of Lytton". This is too much.
I think that the most credible option is that Ron Boychuk never enter in any of the aerial spaces of any aerodromes (Salmon Arm, Kamloops, Kelowna, Merrit) within the "logical" or "possible" route for his final destination.
For me it means that he is still in the 50 kilometers around his last reported position: Revelstoke, and in the better case: on the route for Salmon Arm.
And (hurrah, these things happen... ) this time I think that our imagery is within the right area...
Okay there you have it folks. If Mr. Grumpy... er I mean Blue Penguin is satisfied that we are working with imagery from the right area, AND this is where the Boychuk family thinks is the most probable location then I'd say we are working with imagery from the best possible location. After all Blue Penguin is most (in his own words) rude and presumptuous guy of our "bunch of armchairs". If he is in agreement with where a search team is having us look (a first that I have observed) that carries a lot of weight with me. 
Blue Penguin may be "rude and presumptuous" but he also has very sound sense of reasoning. We just have to give him slack for being French.
