If you are discussing the Germans who wondered where the Jews had gone, then the only ones who denied it were the ones IGNORING Occam's Razor not the ones wielding it. I could have listed 50 more and more wild explanations of what happened to their Jewish neighbors the government hated and shipped off, but based on what they knew at the time (no retrofitting - I've read the accounts myself as a history buff), the answer for most was obvious and unpleasant. Psychologically, many preferred not to think about where the conclusions led, or, at least, tried to convince themselves otherwise. Those are the ones who failed to apply the principle, not the other way around as you state.

No contorting of anything, in fact, I paraphrased what interviews of many Germans that the time said.

I don't think you understand because your arguments are not following a logical construct.
