Well, nitpicking, much of the area bombing did affect Ruhr area cities, so it's not clear to me that exclusive focus on hitting factories and railway junctions and such would have meant higher civilian casualties.

What I meant is that an exclusive focus on infrastructure targets would have shifted casualties. I'm also not sure if it would have meant higher civilian casualties, in fact I suspect they would have been lower. However, they would have still been very high, and yet IMO, it would have been the right thing to do.
