　　Description:

　　描述：

　　During WWII, U.S. and British military forces conducted research on the distribution of bullet holes on battered combat aircraft, in an effort to upgrade the jets’ protective capability. Most scientists agreed that the upgrade should focus on areas with most bullet holes, while Ward, a statistician, prevailed over these dissenting views, noting that attention should be paid to the parts with less bullet holes, since if those parts were damaged, the jets would have a smaller chance of returning home. However, his statistics were normally ignored. Later investigation proved Ward’s theories were, in fact, correct. Please write an essay based on the materials.

　　“二战”期间，为了加强对战机的防护，英美军方调查了作战后幸存飞机上弹痕的分布，决定哪里弹痕多就加强哪里。然而统计学家沃德力排众议，指出更应该注意弹痕少的部位，因为这些部位受到重创的战机，很难有机会返航，而这部分数据被忽略了。事实证明，沃德是正确的。综合材料内容及含义写一篇文章。
