Fair enough! I think something Braumoeller is trying to get at with his definition of intensity is like: if I were a citizen of one of the nations involved in a war, how likely is it that I would be killed? If you end up dividing by year, then you’re measuring how likely is it that I would be killed per year of warfare. But what I would really care about is the total risk over the duration of the war.
