    Matt, please pay attention.

    The problem is not just the lack of physical plumbing. 

    The problem is that despite the fact that we have the Bauleitung file
of the architectural plans, throughout all the revisions, not one of them
shows any plumbing for showers.  Other plumbing - for water taps - is
shown.  Yet shower plumbing is not. 

    Do thieves steal the ink showing the plans for the copper pipes as
well?

    Yet there is an inventory sheet, also from those Bauleitung files,
listing showerheads in a room whose architectural plans show no shower
plumbing.

    Can you find any abandoned building that has this problem with its
architectural plans?

    I have explained this before.

    Try to stay awake this time.

    Actually, I think that no eyewitness ever did say such a thing.  If
you can produce an example, please do so.

    I think this was a case of the gossip game, where the story got
mutated in the telling.

    Suppose I were to write:

    "The people went into the room expecting a shower.  But no water ever
came out of the showerheads.  Instead, the room was filled with deadly
gas."

    Nowhere in that text does it explicitly say that the gas came directly
out of the showerheads.  But someone could easily misread it that way.

    I have been through this before.  Are we keeping you awake, Matt?  Do
you suppose you could pay attention this time?

    Actually, this is an outright lie.  The only reference in the movie is
to people going into real showers.  Where does anything in the movie say
that gas was supposed to come directly out of the showerheads?  Nowhere of
course.

    Gee, are you saying the hours of videotape I recorded off Court TV
during the observance of the anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials are
forgeries?

    Once again you have inserted your foot into your mouth up to your
armpits.  Court TV presented hours of coverage - film clips, sound
recordings, and quite balanced commentary by modern legal scholars and
participants, including one of the German defense attorneys who was still
quite critical of the proceedings.

    Your ignorance is quite amusing.

    Perhaps you could someday stop pretending that the Nuremberg IMT was
the only or even the main place that the gassing was established.

    But I suppose I should not expect either honesty or even a superficial
grasp of the facts from you.

    How shall we explain Mr. Giwer's writing as if he has not been told
before about the foundation of the claim about missing plumbing?  Bad
newsfeed, dishonesty, or early-onset Alzheimer's?
