Unlike the leafletting -> behavior step, tactical casualty effectiveness is partially constitutive of strategic outcomes within the framework of attritional wars. Your analogy here is flawed or could at least use greater sophistication. Inputs (men, paper, printing presses, distribution vehicles > military activity (printing and distributing leaflets) > output (number of leaflets distributed, number of people that read a leaflet) > outcome (number of people whose behaviour changes in the desired manner)
