Quantity doesn't correlate with accuracy. OP's point was that surely having more intelligence means you are more accurate and thus less collateral damage.

Again, prior reporting on the IDF’s computational efforts do not indicate that less collateral damage was a driver - quite the contrary, the algorithm was being used to pad out targeting lists: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/03/israel-gaza-ai...

You’re describing what ought to be, not what currently is.

Exactly. And an increase in accurate targets would lead to the faster removal of Hamas, and the process of repair can begin faster.
