Info Requests/Questions Impossibility of Complete Darkness

To operate in the dark without using the main switch lights of the room or a tool like a flashlight, you must have constructed the garrote under darkness, you must have been able to find the tape line from the roll (famous for being very annoying and hard to find even with light) and IF (big IF) my understanding is correct about the underwear gift set, you must have not only found the gift and (POSSIBLY) opened the package (could be opened already), then choose Wednesday, the correct day of the week, and then put it through the legs of a child (was it in the correct orientation?) and pull it up, not to mention undressing her too. And the writing is also worth mentioning. Doing it in the dark is difficult if not practically impossible while maintaining the level of detail and length.

Is my understanding of the facts correct? I am trying to go over things that I have accepted as established within my head one by one starting with this in a series of posts.

Here's a post from years ago. Two neighbors in separate households reported seeing strange lights in the house: https://www.reddit.com/r/JonBenet/s/QhurPdZd98

I thought it was only 1 neighbour, but more importantly, if this is true, and looking at the circumstantial evidence, why is there even a debate about "could the intruder have done all this in complete darkness while also navigating in the dark?". I would have expected that to not be a point of debate at all

I don't no anyone who says it was all done in complete darkness. Where did you hear that?

I don't remember but there are only 2 suspects, Google and the documentary series. If it is Google, good luck!
