nana what I mean is something we in germany call "Halbwissen" - translation - halfknowlege.
It discribed a number or historical event that someone uses in debate, although that number or event isn`t true or only half true, and the individual using it in his argument never bothered to reasure himself or herself if his or her argument was valid and factual, when the individual picked that number or event up and memorized it.
When Achmedinijad holds a speech at the UN or in Teheran, in which he states that "6 million people could have never died during the holocaust" it is a classical case of "Halbwissen", with which he makes a fool out of himself.
Because in total 11 million people died during the holocaust, out of which 6 million were jews.
So he makes a fool out of himself, in one sentence, twice.
