Bader or Johnson's scores were accepted then but now we know they are inaccurate. But what number of victories should we use? We cannot verify with certainity scores of any of those airmen as we cannot with US gunners. Thus official score should remain, especially as I do not see any researcher with an authority to revise official scores. Thus said, a research is always possible on those topics but it should start with 'most likely' and not with claim, that someone lied.
Oh, and may I ask to not repeat any myths concerning efficiency of British intelligence during WWII? This is exactly the very same perception of a subject as in your sample.

When will you understand that due to obvious errors John Alcorn's findings are wrong and misleading?
