That's probably because you don't know anything about the "official narrative." Read "The Effects of Nuclear Weapons" by Glasstone and you will have all the info. The tests were real (I have a sample of trinitite from the Trinity event.) The bombings were real (my father saw the ruins of Nagasaki). And the threat is real (I spent half my career working in strategic defense with a Classified Nuclear Weapon Design Information clearance).
The reason they use tons of TNT as a characterization is (1) people can relate to TNT, and (2) before they set off the Trinity device, they conducted a "full scale" explosion of thousands of tons of TNT to calibrate the Trinity results. I kinda bet you didn't know that, did you?
