Your emotional display is tiresome and I will ignore you if you cannot display some maturity to discuss the facts.
I would say it is your ignorance of facts.

This is the RAF's own documentation and their official History. Perhaps some post war author knows better than they do the state of their forces?
Obviously, otherwise we would not need historians, would we?

Operational flying is a combat sortie credit. Wordsmithing does not change that fact. The bullets fired at 13th Group Operational Sorties are just as deadly as though fired at 11th Group.
You do not understand the difference between operational and combat sortie. It is not the same, and does not mean engagement.

The purpose of the table the RAF constructed was to show the operational burden of the Groups.
The table shows what RAF wanted to show at the time. Nothing more, nothing less.

Well, Crumpp has shown us a large number of strength and sortie narratives and reports from both the time of the Battle of Britain and as compiled postwar. They are both impressive and seem pretty accurate when you consider the end results of the battle. What comparable data do you have?
