It's impressive how you tried to turn "it wasn't really six million after all" into a win for Holocaust hoaxers.

"It doesn't matter that every Westerner has heard the six million figure six million times. It was never that important. You're schizo for thinking it was. It doesn't matter that it was used prior to 1940 either. You're just crazy and hateful."

This is called gaslighting. It's also a motte-and-bailey style of argumentation.

>So which is it? You're not allowed to question it? Research is forbidden?
Revisionism is an jailable offense in 18 countries.

>Or are you just claiming the efforts of legitimate scholarship as "revisionism" because it (unsurprisingly) ended up with a more accurate picture?
No, there are two opposing camps in what passes for academic discourse on the Holocaust.

One camp is "the mainstream", which is overwhelmingly jewish. In the other camp are the revisionists, who are overwhelmingly gentiles.

Mainstream historians, by and large, do not make major changes to the Holocaust narrative. Left to their own devices they unearth or invent ever more eyewitness stories about the Holocaust, elaborating on the central mythos. These tall tales tend to be salacious and overly dramatic — and uncorroborated.

However, when Revisionists produce overwhelming evidence refuting a core tennet of the mythos, mainstream historians quietly downplay or retire it.

This is what you're doing with the "six million" figure. It's also what's being done with the gas chamber narrative. The mainstream is pivoting to a "Holocaust by bullets" story. In a generation the mainstream will simply pretend gas chambers were never that important.

>Yes. I can just refer you to wikipedia for this one. The Holocaust Museum also has a website about it.
Whose numerous assertions about the Holocaust wither and dissolve under scrutiny. Much like the six million figure. And then you'll likely pretend any particular claim never mattered.
