And he was contracted as a sort of scientist, despite having no training in chemistry, to collect samples from the interior of the gas chamber in Auschwitz and have them chemically analyzed. But the issue is that... In addition to these samples being at that point probably at least a half century old, one wouldn't expect any of the – like hydrogen cyanide is very volatile.

So that's the first issue is that this is not something that you would expect to – remain on the surface for even, I would imagine, months, let alone decades. Well, it's pretty much a gas. That was how it was used in the gas chambers. That's why they were gas chambers. So because it is a volatile substance, it doesn't have a tendency to deposit on surfaces.

cyanide complex that would have been detected but again the samples were diluted because you wouldn't expect this to penetrate more than like a fraction of a millimeter into the chamber wall and he was chiseling off huge pieces of yeah yeah so that it was very crude the way he was taking the samples right right so it's sort of a portrait of self-deception yes and yeah the danger of

involved with the Chaos production in various ways from the beginning. And it's an interesting story. It's, you know, I think that the book is very good. I read a manuscript of it long before it was published. I'm not sure that I am persuaded by the book's thesis, but I still think it's very interesting and provocative.

yeah well he didn't have like a um well yeah there was a thesis but there wasn't like any conclusion right he had like i think he ended up with like three or four different conclusions of like why they were murdered right right i should maybe be a little bit i do agree with aspects of i mean there's maybe two two theses in this one is that the story of the manson killings as they are typically portrayed is flawed and incomplete and has yeah inconsistencies that i would agree with
