Eh, I wouldn't expect much since Nessie does not seem to have any literary inclinations. When he reads these pulpy horror stories, he reads them as 100% earnest "eyewitness" testimonies and fails to detect the obvious fictional elements. When these Holocaust pulp writers like Wiernik say ridiculous things, it can only be due to imperfect estimations and lapses in memory. It couldn't be that they are making this stuff up. I suspect that because Nessie cannot imagine producing literature himself, he assumes others are also incapable of this.

I can spot when a witness uses hyperbole, emotive descriptions, hearsay, figures of speech, exaggerations etc. You lot struggle and take far too much literally, such as how many fitted inside a gas chamber, how long a gassing took and how big the graves were.

You have that wrong, as ironically, you do not even know how to prove someone is lying.

It could be down to them making stuff up. The issue is that you do not know how to determine if someone is making things up, or they made a mistake.

Like all other so-called revisionists, you are incapable of accurately assessing witnesses to determining if they are telling the truth, but lack accuracy, or they are lying, or mistaken.
