I agree - there is a high correlation. Anyone that believes the
Holocaust didn't happen probably doesn't support the use of reliable
sources, which makes them incompatible with our goals. Thus, they
should be blocked. I wouldn't support blocking them on sight, though -
they should be given a chance to screw up first.
