I am still having huge difficulties with your flat out statements about the nature of history.
For the sake of the discussion and my peace of mind I will read 'recorded history' when I see you write 'history' or we will be chasing each other around a connundrum all day.
Review is to look at or consider.
Revise is to change.

Yes. For the sake of the literati discussing the relative merits of Pitt The Elder as against Lord Palmerston revisionism is acceptable but I do not consider it appropriate in the case of The Shoah which is an event that occurred within living memory and is an event that is not logically deniable so in the case of revisionists of The Shoah I believe that liar and bigot are far more appropriate.
