If only there was a reliable, proven method to determine if a rumour was true or not....
And who said there isn't?
Revisionists reject the normal method.
Statements must be supported by forensic evidence. Witnesses are only relevant when most of what they say can be verified.
When you make statements like that, you at least show some understanding of how to determine if a rumour is true.
It's not enough for most people to say that something was happening in a building; when you enter it, each person says something different.
There is a high degree of consistency between the witnesses who worked at the AR camps, Chelmno and A-B Kremas.
It's very easy to say that there was a gas chamber, but when you delve deeper into the facts, there's a well of insurmountable contradictions. In other words, those who claim that there was a gas chamber got theirs from rumors of atrocities that spies and fugitives from the camp spread in the Allied press, but since they didn't know the details, each person gave their own version.
There are very few contradictions between those who worked at the gas chambers and saw with their own eyes what happened. They vary in details, which is to be expected, but not the overall process. Revisionists exaggerate and misrepresent the variances, as they fail to take into account all the studies and experiments that have conducted into witness memory and recall.
The confessions of defendants are irrelevant because they were not spontaneous, as seen in the Moscow trials, where they confessed to things that were impossible to verify. We know that these trials were in Stalin's interest. The others simply wanted to shoot them for crimes that were common knowledge.
What Moscow trials? The majority of death camp staff trials took place in Germany, West, East and unified. The Soviets only showed any interest in the Ukrainian staff.
