 Cowdrey states that, with regard to Bacque's attempt to analyze a U.S. Army hospital record document, Bacque not only missed an obvious typo throwing his calculations off by 10, but he also badly erred in the math used to tabulate purported death rates of 30%, which he attempts to use to support his claim that the "other losses" column in the weekly army reports reflects a body count.Cowdrey concludes that "the mathematical blunders of "Other Losses" are elementary.One turns from them feeling only embarrassment for the author who naively grounds his thesis upon them."
