Alot of assumptions there. Also sort of runs counter to the argument that it's easier to hunt with a crossbow than a bow. If it's easier, should be able to get a higher percentage of clean kills. Is there any sort of certification at all with regard to bows to even remotely suggest the user knows what he's doing or knows how to "down game in a humane fashion"?
