Regarding the debate over the Kula column. The witnesses are clearly describing the same thing and that some mention a bucket or cannister and others do not, is explained here (my bold);

https://phdn.org/archives/holocaust-his ... o-columns/

"In 1981, historian Gerald Fleming spoke to former SS-Sergeant Major Josef Houstek, who had changed his name to Josef Erber after serving at Auschwitz. Erber described the columns as appearing slightly different:
In each of these gassing areas [of the crematoria [II and III] in Birkenau] were two ducts: in each duct, four iron pipes ran from the floor to the roof. These were encased with steel mesh wire and inside there was a tin canister with a low rim. Attached to this tin was a wire by which it could be pulled up to the roof. When the lids were lifted, one could pull up the tin canister and shake the gas crystals into it. Then the canister was lowered, and the lid closed. 6
6. Prisoner Josef Erber to author, 14 September 1981.
The "four iron pipes" are presumably the four corners around which the outside mesh was wrapped. The tin canister lowered by a wire may be an earlier, or later, version of the inside "wire basket" described by Kula."

Nit picking over small details, to try and point score in a debate, is one way how the revisionists here try to justify their beliefs. Fact is Erber corroborates Tauber and Kula. Corroboration between witnesses who would not normally cooperate, is very strong corroboration.
Sanity Check - "Thus, currently revisionists can console themselves by affirming their incredulity..."
