What you say is, doubtless, true too. But it doesn't show that Wood's regard for property was totally fictitious; just as there was real debate about the morality of targeting civilians.
Wood, BTW, wasn't a twerp: he is credited with setting up the Empire Air Training Scheme, which must have been one of the best pre-war policy decisions the UK made (along with a radar-and-control system and modern fighters), and Churchill made him Chancellor of the Exchequer (Minister of Finance), which is not a job given to the weak of brain.
