rape is a common weapon used in war.

Look a this logical rebuttal:

“By refuting claims that rape in war is increasing and stating that the media is focusing too much on extreme cases, the authors run the risk of appearing to downplay the problem,” Wolfe says. “With up to 500,000 women raped in Rwanda’s conflict alone, we’re not in a positionto undercutwhat happens to women in war. This is a call to arms for us to recognize that we must look closely at what is happening to women on the ground so we can better understand it.”

You see? The initial study is correct however people might get the wrong idea (which is actually the right idea but some don't like it).

And if you take an extreme example and pretend it's the norm you can make it appear as if the problem is far worse than it really is.
