No, it's like if I said every time someone was killed it was a Holocaust, the meaning of the word would diminish to a shadow of it's former meaning.

And yet, you can't figure out that all of the normal lies (akin to an individual death in your example) add up to the "big lie" (akin to the Holocaust in your example.) See, to make a case for something you tend to use evidence. So when Andy talks about the Big Lie and then uses examples of all the various lies told in preparation for the war, he is building a case. Each of those "little" lies are part of the "big lie."

You make the (unsupported/unsupportable) claim that all the lies are being touted as "the big lie" (even though the phrase "Big Lie" is RARELY used --- particularly on this forum) then try to make people define a term that even though it is rarely used has a fairly obvious meaning given the context of the few posts it was used in.

I can't tell if you are actually that thick or if it is some sort of a schtick.
