What fallacy are you referring to? Explaining my position regarding the chemistry argument is not a fallacy.
Begging the Question.
I have repeatedly explained that I find Green's arguments about the difference in usage between a delousing chamber and homicidal gassings, time of exposure, washing walls etc, convincing. I would expect there to be no discolouration and less residue in the chamber that uses less Zyklon B, for shorter periods of time and is washed afterwards. I would expect that in many different situations, where something is exposed to something else. It is common sense that the lower the exposure, and washing, the less the residue.
Emphasis mine. Great we are finally getting somewhere, however this has been extremely painful and laborious as tends to be the case with you. Let's explore this.
With the quote below from earlier in this thread, and others, you concede that you fail to understand the rationale for both Dr Green and Rudolf's arguments respectively. Your honesty with this admission is immediately eroded by pretending this rationale is above the level of a generalist, where I have demonstrated it is not. To repeat: Both Dr Green and Rudolf succeed in addressing their arguments to a general audience. I have shown you evidence where other readers have understood the core arguments, and one "holocaust-educator-activist" was so impressed by Green's clarity, they used it as a teaching aide. Additionally, Dr Green wrote a report for the Lipstadt trial which was never presented due to Rudolf's prior withdrawal, that was intended to be read and understood by non-specialists also.
You have no excuse for playing dumb that you cannot be expected to understand the science supporting these men's arguments.

I understand their arguments, but not necessarily the science behind the argument. It is clear that you do not understand that. You have repeatedly failed to explain why I am wrong to say that since the evidence is that gassings took place, Rudolf is wrong and Green is correct.
I assume you are aware that Rudolf has addressed the points you raised (exposure time and washing - he also addressed the pH but you were clever enough to drop that from your posts, since you botched it so badly earlier and could sense I was ready to pounce on your sloppiness, well done). Furthermore I also assume you don't understand the science behind Rudolf's arguments despite them being tailored to a generalist audience also, and as such have no reasons for disbelieving them, other than yet again, the eyewitnesses.
Why is this important? Because this bears all the hallmarks of ideological thinking. Were I to continue to push you as to why you are convinced by Dr Green, and unconvinced by Rudolf, you will
continually retreat back to the support offered by the eyewitnesses.
All of this means, your facade of "convergence" isn't convergence at all. Were Dr Green's arguments really to converge with the eyewitness, they would do so
independently of their support. You seemingly lack the modest comprehension skills for this point to land, but everyone else here commenting understands this.
History and criminal acts are never proven by a stand alone forensic analysis.
And yet, forensic analysis is not only permitted in criminal trials, but
actively sought out and considered extremely desirable where possible.
At most, all Green can do is prove the residue is roughly consistent with the described usage of the Kremas as gas chambers. He cannot prove they were used for homicidal gassings. You are revealing your ignorance of evidencing, thinking that a chemical analysis should be able to prove homicidal mass gassings.
Strawman. He doesn't need to prove they were used for gassing. What he took it upon himself to do, is to present a compelling argument as to why the residues are not present at the levels expected. At this, both he and Markiewicz have failed. Your conviction that he succeeded, is belied by the fact that you still require support by the eyewitnesses, and ignore Rudolf's rebuttals. This is yet another poor reflection on you.
If more chemists studied the Krema remains, conducted analysis and experiments were run, that replicated conditions inside the chambers and repeatedly, they concluded that homicidal mass gassings did not take place, then revisionist would have a case. Scientists know that one claim on its own is never enough to prove something. Since other chemists disagree with Rudolf, that weakens his claim.
I agree, more testing should be done, but we both know that ideologues like you and the legal systems they operate in prevent this from being possible. Any chemist attempting to do this would be fired (if not arrested or assassinated). Pretending that this is just something Revisionists casually don't bother with, ignoring the perils, is dishonest beyond belief.
You are so bound to denying gassings took place, that you would never agree with a chemist who disagreed with Rudolf.
Correct, because Rudolf's rebuttals are more compelling than Dr Green's arguments.
