Like holocaust denial, the only reason people make one claim rather than another is to be seen as a certain type of person.

That's true in the same sense that I don't stab people who cut in line because I don't want to be seen as a psychopath, and I don't say that 2+2=5 because I don't want to be seen as an idiot.
