The 'shoot high' problem is something one will find in many pre-WWII conflicts and in first hand accounts if you read long enough. A seargent at Gettysburg told his men to aim for belt buckles in an attempt to compensate for their natural aversion to aim to kill. Accounts like this come from several sources; ones that don't even focus on the individual fighting in great detail!
Grossmann doesn't simply fart out this thesis with absolutely no basis. The man speaks from experience as well, as he isn't just a historian - he is a US Army historian. When he speaks of 'pavlovian training techniques' in modern militaries; he isn't lying. Here's a video I and many students before and after me watched in my second year, taking sociology. My Professor also believed in Grossman's overall arching thesis. Killing is a matter of socialization and psychology.
