Nonsense, absolute nonsense.

Why are you trying to sell me this line of c***? I know how to verify the kills, you count them. Only actuals, no estimates.

On the big externals they ran an air photo sortie (where possible) and then left it to the photo interp boys to count the bodies. Only count what you see.

Then of course we used radio intercepts of their reports to confirm our numbers which were always higher than what we counted. So that filled the gap between kills verified by mark one eye-ball and actual. No estimates needed.

Why should it be different there?
