this viewpoint formed largely from the book "how the war was won", and the tldr is that air raids did more damage to the german war effort, even if the soviets took greater losses and took more territory by the end. in more detail, air raids forced germans to move their factories into underground bunkers. those bunkers were optimized for compactness and fortification, not efficiency or quality. despite developing the first modern jet, the nazis were never able to deploy it due to logistical issues. the underground factories were nowhere near the raw materials, the railyards were fucked due to air harassment- as were fuel depots. logistics wins wars, not extermination of the enemy. the nazi blitzkrieg took france by rushing their logistics, and so too did britain do more damage to nazi logistics than the soviets ever could. to be honest, i doubt people actually understood this history when they answered the survey, so they probably are as dumb as you imagine. but the stance itself isn't completely baseless.
