Let's take Treblinka as an example:
- We start off by accepting the claim/prediction as false: there are NOT greater than 200,000 Jews buried underneath Treblinka
- We now have to prove this [false] claim as conclusively false
Your stated aim is to show that it is impossible to prove that there are not greater than 200,000 Jews buried at TII, which means, according to the principle you are using, the claim that there are more than 200,000 Jews buried there is unsubstantiated.
It is a really odd way of investigation and we need to acknowledge why you are doing it. Obviously it is because you want more excuses to dismiss the evidence of more than 200,000 Jews buried there and to excuse your inability to evidence there are far less than 200,000 buried there.
[*] In attempting to do this, we need to show that not only were there Jewish arrivals and claims to their burials here, but that there are actually not this minimal number of Jews underground there
[*] Claims that this number of Jews arrived and were buried underground there only suffice if there is no other explanation other than strict truth-telling, for these claims. But there are other explanations (i.e. motives).
[*] Documentation suggesting >200k burials underground are only sufficient if explicit and reliable with clear chains-of-custody free of potential tampering, fabrication, etc. This condition is not present.
[*] Therefore, there is no conceivable way to show such a number of Jews is not underground there, without checking underneath the entire camp area (in a comprehensive, transparent, and unbiased way) to confirm a lack of physical remains (or a representative pattern thereof) reflecting a scale of >200,000 corpses.
[*] Checking thoroughly underground is conceivable in theory, however is not possible in practice.[/list]
You have theorised a bizarre investigation, that no one genuinely investigating TII would conduct, to make your desired claim about falsifiability work. You are avoiding that a genuine investigation, would be perfectly capable of falsifying any claim about mass burials at TII, from there being none at all, to there were c800,000 buried there, by proving how many are buried at the camp. That is why, above, you made the unjustifiable claim that if all the staff and prisoners denied mass graves existed and surveys found no traces of mass graves and documents recorded mass transports back out of the camp, you would not have proved there were no mass graves!
You have produced a list that distorts the investigations of TII, to pretend that the evidence of c800,000 buried there, falsifies the claim that there are not more than 200,000 buried there.
As explained earlier, the Treblinka narrative of the 'Holocaust' has some theoretical falsifiability, which merely admits a claim/prediction to the field of science, however lacks practical falsification which is required to advance (or eliminate) the claim/prediction. Therefore, the Treblinka narrative of the 'Holocaust' has not been substantiated.
The same logic and approach can apply identically to the other two camps mentioned (Belzec, Sobibor), and to many other claims of the 'Holocaust'.
Only in your mind, is it logical, to suggest a bizarre failure to prove that it is not possible to prove that more than 200,000 Jews are not buried at TII, undermines the claim that more than 200,000 Jews are buried there. You are trying to excuse your inability to evidence that TII never had huge mass graves containing hundreds of thousands of corpses.
An archaeological and GPR survey, that finds little to no buried remains, would, on its own, falsify that more than 200,000 were buried at TII. It is entirely practical to conduct such a survey and so falsify the TII narrative. You cannot do it and so you need excuses for that
In the thread "Goalposts" you said;
That "the Germans killed the 17,000 corpses buried under the Katyn forest" is falsifiable is evident in the fact that we have, indeed, produced evidence to show it as false. This evidence was always conceivably possible, even before Soviet admissions in the 90s, which means it has always been a scientific/legitimate claim or prediction. However one could dispute whether it was falsifiable in practice decades prior, due to Soviet motives and control of information. It took a Soviet admission to show it false, after all.
The same sort of evidence, such as admissions, applies to TII. It is possible to falsify any claim, using evidence, about TII. Therefore it is also a "scientific/legitimate" claim.
