I'm not. We're talking about different things.
Backtrack to Miles O'Brien's comment. They're clearly talking about individual depictions, and my comment focuses on that. To assume that people with shitty worldviews must be necessarily incompetent is wishful thinking.
The reason why the Nazi worldview is invalid has jack shit to do with efficiency or competence, it's as simple as "that worldview oppresses the lives of innocent people into living hells".
In the meantime you're talking about the social impact of continuous, somewhat consistent-ish depictions of the Nazi in media, not individual depictions. What you're saying is valid but another can of worms.
Note that, if people are less eager to play along that fallacy, this sort of argument doesn't roll any more. Suddenly if Merdolini made the trains run on time or not doesn't matter, and can be safely called out as a distraction. Just like the Nazi economic recovery.
