You didn't quote what I wrote, you quoted a history of the event written by someone writing now who had access to information that the participants did not have access to at the time. Yes, the author said that, from the German point of view, bombing London was inadvertent. He didn't say that the British knew that at the time. How could they? They couldn't translate encrypted German transmissions that early in the war. Attributing knowledge that you have now to people who did not have it at the time is common among high functioning autistics and people with Asperger's syndrome. Blaming people for not knowing at the time what you know now seems bizarre to people who are not autistic and do not have Asperger's syndrome. But there's no way to explain that to people who are autistic or have Asperger's syndrome. If they could understand that their actions are bizarre, they wouldn't be who they are. Thus, I do not expect you to grasp what I just wrote.
