Armoring Military Planes During the Second World War, the U.S. military collected data on bullet holes found

Question:

Armoring Military Planes During the Second World War, the U.S. military collected data on bullet holes found in B-24 bombers that returned from flight missions. The data showed that most bullet holes were found in the wings and tail of the aircraft. Therefore, the military reasoned that more armor should be added to these regions, as they are more likely to be shot. Abraham Wold, a famous statistician of the era, is reported to have argued against this reasoning. In fact, he argued that based on these data more armor should be added to the center of the plane, and NOT the wings and tail. What was Wald's argument?
