It seems like a good idea if you have the time and stomach for it, yes. The final outcome may be an assertion that “facts are disputed in the very difficult conditions of war”. They may quote figures higher and lower than their figure and say they took an average :-) the higher ones, of course being the most disputable of all, but then they quickly slip in a “case closed”. But they might be a bit more careful in future nonetheless.
