Inget om metoden faktiskt. Du får gärna hjälpa till. Du borde ju veta. Du kanske är mitt sista hopp här.

My Revisionist Method
Revisionism is not an ideology. It is a method of working. It is the process of checking, and double-checking, views which are generally accepted. One may revise in any field, in physics, in history, wherever, but there are different ways of practicing the revisionist method. Your revisionist method depends on you, your character, and your education. I won’t tell you that mine is the best possible method, but I shall try to describe my method, for which I had special training, and a special education.
I have searched for adjectives to describe this method. Here is what I have found: it is a method that is classical, direct, bold, daring, and severe — very severe. It is matter of fact. Sometimes I use the expression “nuts and bolts revisionism.” My method rejects big words. Be simple, which is so difficult. Go directly to the center of the center of the question, and try first to bring me the pudding. I don’t want words. I’m going to taste the pudding, but first, bring me the pudding — meaning no intellectual pretensions and no pedantry.
You may have noticed that I have used the word “method.” I didn’t say “methodology.”
[...]I opened my cherished American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language. I looked up “methodology,” and there I found, in a usage note: “Increasingly used as a pretentious substitute for method.”
My method is difficult, and risky — sometimes even physically — for it requires that sometimes I must enter places where I am unwelcome, and ask some hard questions. Employing my revisionist method may earn you a slap in the face or a trip to jail. But you can’t be bashful when investigating historical problems. You can’t limit yourself to paper and archives — something which is very easy to do.

Här följer ett utdrag ur en kritisk granskning av revisionsmen, eller snarare "revisionismen" i det här fallet (citationstecknet - se nedan - är ett s k
sneer eller
snarl quote...), eftersom "revisionism" inte är revisionism utan...ja, "revisionism"..

Why revisionism isn't an essay by Gord Mcfee

Granskningen inleds med en beskriving av legitim historierevisionism:
Citat:
What is Legitimate Historical Revisionism?
On its basic level, revisionism is nothing more than than the advocacy of revision, which in itself is the act of revising, or modifying something that already exists. Applied to history, it means that historians challenge the accepted version of the causes or consequences of historical events. As such, it is an accepted and important part of historical endeavour for it serves the dual purpose of constantly re-examining the past while also improving our understanding of it. Indeed, if one accepts that history attempts to help us better understand today by better understanding how we got here, revisionism is essential.

Som jämförelse kan vi sticka emellan med en apologi för, eller en legitimering av, metoden i en recension där Förintelsen inte nämns:
Citat:
Revisionism is the word that best describes the historiographical method of Peter Green and it is the intention here to provide an accurate definition of this rather slippery term. Green's revisionism is an approach to history which utilizes the traditional tools of empirical evidence and inductive logic together with a more modern acceptance that, as the philosopher Karl Popper writes, "each generation has its own troubles and problems, and therefore its own interests and its own point of view. It follows that each generation has a right to look upon and re-interpret history in its own way."(Novick 395) Green's method of writing history, in its emphasis on the importance of re-interpretation, does not adhere to what Peter Novick refers to as "that noble dream" of the historical profession, objective historical truth. In an early essay, Green states that he is suspicious of the "quite alarming delusions of objectivity" (Essays 62) to which some historians cling.

Är det brister på dessa områden som utmärker "revisionismen"?
Citat:
What Do "Revisionists" Do?
"Revisionists" depart from the conclusion that the Holocaust did not occur and work backwards through the facts to adapt them to that preordained conclusion. Put another way, they reverse the proper methodology described above, thus turning the proper historical method of investigation and analysis on its head. That is not to say that historians never depart from a preconceived or desired result; they often do. But in adhering rigorously to the correct methodology, they accept that the result of their investigation may not be what they envisaged at the beginning. They are prepared to adapt their theories to that reality. Indeed, they are often required to revise their conclusions based on the facts. To put it tritely, "revisionists" revise the facts based on their conclusion.
Since "revisionists" depart from the conclusion that the Holocaust did not happen, i.e., they deny its existence, they are often called "deniers". Rather than analyze historical events, facts, their causes and consequences, and their interactions with other events, they defend a conclusion, whether or not the facts support it.

...utmanar de accepterade orsakerna och konsekvenserna av historiska händelser, utan att ifrågasätta själva de historiska händelserna - t ex händelsen att judarna gasades i gaskamrar under andra världskriget.

Från en fotnot i Faurissons uppsats:
Citat:
Professor Vidal-Naquet is a noted historian of ancient Greece, and one France’s most vociferous defenders of the Holocaust claim. [Ed.]
Vidal-Naquet beskriver här den "oundvikliga" revisionistiska metoden, nämligen att utgå från gasningar i gaskamrarna och sen backa bakåt i historien:
Citat:
In effect, how can one avoid moving backward from the gas chambers
to the Einsatzgruppen and, step by step, to the laws of exclusion,
to German anti-Semitism, to that which distinguishes and opposes
Hitler's anti-Semitism and that of Wilhelm II, and so on ad infinitum?
Raul Hilberg, for instance, proceeded in such a way in his admirable
volume. ["HC," pp. 31-32]
Auschwitz and After: Race, Culture, and "the Jewish Question" in France, ed. Lawrence D. Kritzman (New York, 1995), p. 31; hereafter abbreviated "HC."

Man utgår från en nödvändig utgångspunkt (
necessary point of departure), nämligen att det skedda har skett....
Citat:
It is not necessary to ask how, technically, such a mass murder was possible. It was possible technically since it took place. That is the necessary point of departure for any historical inquiry on this subject. It is our function simply to recall that truth: There as not, there cannot be, any debate about the existence of the gas chambers.
