If you snip out the rest of his post it is suddenly very off topic,
since there is no on topic matter remaining.

He was trying to go somewhere with these examples though.

But I do suggest that folks try to avoid using the Holocaust as an
example in a thread about misleading advertising claims, since few
topics are better at provoking impassioned and extremely off-topic
replies like the one that I'm trying very hard not to write.
