* SnubByOmission: A dark example. When asked why he's so interested in the tragedies of WWII, Mark replies "The scale. Europe decimated. 7 million Germans, 20 million Russians, 5 million Poles". i.e. he leaves out the 6 million Jews killed in UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust, a figure most non scholars are familiar with, implying Mark might be a Holocaust denier.
