You look at the biased population estimates of people bigoted against jews, when jews may have not been properly reporting their population.

No. I didn't, I looked at all reports and census data. Your source was a known liar and hearsay.

You simply accuse people who use higher estimates (and of quoting high estimates) of being liars & hoaxers.

Just the source you linked, who is a liar and a hoaxer and, yes, his testimony is hearsay and he was proven by many scholars to lack any credibility. Again, I'm not going to believe someone who says Eichmann told him 6 million Jews died, when Eichmann then said he never said that.

you act like the nazis (who were hiding a genocide) would have given you the data for your "research."

No, not really.

But again, since you believe the six million figure to be true, can you prove it to be true. Because I wasn't able to. Can you show me that that figure is the sole truth backed up by facts and figures. Thanks.

I didn't say you didn't look at the reports or census data, I said that if people feel they are victims of persecution/prejudice they might not accurately report themselves to government population estimates.

(I said the population estimates would logically be wrong if people felt they were victims of persecution/prejudice.)

You didn't even respond to my debunk of your position.

Sorry, I just posted a comment to you meant for someone else. I said that if people feel they are victims of persecution/prejudice they might not accurately report themselves to government population estimates. Okay, and can you provide some figures or a source for this that would accoutn for the 6 million figure? Does the persecution/prejudice account for the 6 million figure?

You're still not getting it.

I'm saying the sources/estimates of population can not be trusted when people feel they must hide from persecution/prejudice.

(ie that's what is rational.)

And if you need some "authority figure" to say this (for you to consider it) then you are not being rational.

Okay, then I agree with your statements. But I certainly don't agree with the figures.
