Statistics are very malleable things. In WWII there were large numbers of casualities in specific areas and at specific times, but they got statistically diluted due to overall numbers of military [many hundreds of thousands, indeed millions], and their wide distribution. Nevertheless, I empathise with the drift of the article.
