Ironically, all of those things you just listed for what revisionists believe are credibly evidenced
Except you lack any eyewitness, despite over a million people being sent to those camps and the hundreds of camp staff, SS and Jewish. You also lack any documentary evidence of people leaving the camps in any significant numbers.
... (the only debate between revisionists is what proportion of each of these most accurately characterizes these camps)...
Are you now claiming the camps were multi-purpose? The reason why so-called revisionists cannot actually agree on a revision of the purpose of the AR camps, is because none of the suggested revisions is well enough evidenced to produce a consensus. Whereas there is a consensus amongst historians. That proves AR camps as death camps is the best evidenced purpose.
... whereas your beliefs (e.g. that there are millions of Jews underground there) have been tested and shown as false.
Oh, and there's the missing wood... d'oh!
Your methodology for "testing" the evidence is flawed and unique to Holocaust denial/revisionism. For example;
1 - your claim that it has been shown to be false that millions were buried at the camp. Normally, the evidence to prove no large mass grave, comes from archaeological work. The ground is excavated, or subject to geophysical survey and, if it is found to be undisturbed, that proves no graves. Or, only a small grave with only a few corpses is found. Or, only a small area of disturbed ground containing cremated remains. So-called revisionists cannot do that, even though one did conduct a GPR survey of TII. Instead, they just dispute the evidence of huge areas of disturbed ground containing cremated human remains.
Since none have any archaeological or other relevant qualifications, their critiquing of the archaeology is not credible.
2 - your claim about the missing wood, is based on the relative lack of evidence of how wood got to the camps, for the pyres. However, there is a Sonderkommando description of gathering wood locally at TII and an SS officer describing getting wood delivered to Sobibor from a Polish wood yard, for construction work. Poland did not lack trees, so some local gathering and some deliveries is how wood would get to the camps. Missing details does not evidence no wood could have got to the camps for the pyres.
3 - your so-called testing of the evidence, is mere argument from incredulity, whereby you rather arrogantly claim that because you cannot believe, or work out how something happened, such as mass graves and pyres, therefore they did not happen.
The 1.2 and 3 I have just described, are totally unlike how history is normally investigated. Your way results in no evidenced chronology of events that leads to a conclusion. It is a non-history.
