... They takeaway is that he has no rational way to explain the physical evidence discrepancies on-site at AR camps (or Birkenau), so is pivoting to claims that many Jews never made it to the camps to begin with (ironically, a big point for revisionism).
The rational explanation, for the so-called discrepancies, is that the Nazis did a very good job of exhumation, cremation and mixing the burnt remains and ashes into the ground, leaving no obvious signs of the original mass graves. The haphazard finds of buried remains, and disturbed ground that when excavated by archaeologists found little in the way of remains, shows that the Nazis did not just dump the cremains back into the original graves at the AR camps. Chelmno is different, as it has more clearly defined rectangular disturbed ground, that has the cremains. That buried remains have been found in the wooded area at Sobibor, suggests that the wooden areas at TII, is also likely to cover over where the cremains were dumped. Part of the cover-up, according to witnesses, was to plant over where cremains were buried.
Other discrepancies, such as how many graves there were and their location, based on witness recollection and the maps some drew, are easily explained by memory issues.
The so-called revisionists express their disbelief at the possibility, so many were buried at each camp and then make calculations designed to support their disbelief, and present that as solid, substantial evidence. It is not. There are many unknowns, such as how many died on route and if their remains were removed from the trains. What is certain, from the evidence, is that hundreds of thousands of Jews met their end inside those camps.
Sanity Check - "Thus, currently revisionists can console themselves by affirming their incredulity..."
