.... Wahrheitssucher has just demonstrated very neatly that you are not only enforcing a very skewed and selective interpretation of this phrase, but in addition, that interpretation must at all times bend to whichever evidence best suits the Orthodox timeline.
We call that eating your cake and having it, too.

It is called studying history, gathering evidence to establish a chronology of events.
The flexibility you are referring to, is due to studying what happened 1941-4, across Europe, to the Jews. In the east, the Nazis found that they had a lot of cooperation from local people, as Latvians, Lithuanians, Ukrainians and Romanians murdered their Jewish citizens. The reason why Einsatzgruppen operations were so successful, so quickly, was due to locals joining in with the killings. That is likely why the Einsatzgruppen were far more open, in their language, about what they were doing, executing, shooting, Jews.
Western and Southern Europe were far less cooperative and there was never going to be direct local assistance with the killings, which were to take place in the east, hence the planning was more about transportation. Those nations also varied in the level of cooperation, with the Dutch highly cooperative and the Danes very uncooperative.
So, of course the "orthodox" timeline bends about, as it has to, to accommodate Hungary, which was very uncooperative and then forced to be highly cooperative in 1944. The timeline follows the evidence, and the evidence varies over time and by country. Even within countries, there are different timelines. France was split between free and occupied, and the fate of its Jews varied depending on which zone they were in.
The Wannsee Conference attendees did not want to get their hands dirty, by referring to executions, especially when their main task was monitoring progress and transportations to the east. They were also dealing with the far less cooperative Western and Southern nations, where they had to be far more diplomatic and patient. They did not need to worry about the Eastern European reaction to mass killing of Jews, as there was widespread support.
Resettlement is a proven euphemisim, because the evidence is that on arriving in the east, Jews were killed, or imprisoned as slave labourers, neither of which is a resettlement action. There is zero evidence of actual resettlement, with settlements being built to house millions of Jews. Settlements were created in the east, in the form of ghettos, but by 1944, the last one at Lodz closed. That is the opposite as to what would be expected from a resettlement action, which would mean by 1944, there would have been hundreds of ghettos, accommodating millions of Jews. Resttlement can take the form of camps, but again, closures meant that in 1944, there was not millions of Jews in the camps. Auschwitz had a smaller population in 1944, than in 1943, the opposite of what would be expected with a mass resettlement programme.
To what extent the attendees at Wannsee knew about the mass murders, we do not know. Theoretically, they could have held that meeting with none knowing mass killings had been taking place in the East with the Einsatzgruppen and they were monitoring and supervising a mass resettlement and labour force action.
So-called revisionists cannot revise, they cannot produce an evidenced chronology of events. So, they attack the existing chronology, resulting in an inconclusive, unevidenced, non-history of what happened to the Jews arrested by the Nazis 1941-4.
