This sort of issue came up during the ICTY trials and appeals as well. In fact 2 high ranking military officials had their convictions overturned. They were convicted based on artillery records that showed a pretty high rate of civilian targets hit. On appeal, the lawyers successfully argued that they had better accuracy than the British and Americans had in Afghanistan when comparing their records, not even considering population density of the battle zone areas. Rather than open up that can of worms, both had their convictions overturned on appeal.
