- That was my point: just because it's a book
- (and some of it's sources are books) doesn't mean it's accurate.
- Holocaust revisionists publish lots of books.
-
- And it's not a well-documented book; it makes tons of sweeping statements
- that don't cite any references.

-
- Your statements imply you believe the 'facts' from the book
- summarized above are accurate.
-
- ``so you needn't worry about the accuracy of the readings'';
- what a joke.
