Information attack possible bug

from GalCiv2 Forums
When you do an information planet assault-- it says x-y ppl join your army. During the attack screen you have + some number of troops and the opponent has - that number.
However, I noticed that if I fail, the number is added BACK into the planet population? Maybe this is intended?

Note that all "special" invasions don't affect the planet in case the invasion fails: Planet quality isn't reduced, no improvements are destroyed and so on. I guess that adding the number back to the population is another aspect of the same "feature". (Yes, it's intentional AFAIK - even though it is unrealistic and exploitable.)

Oooh. I didn't know that. That sort of sucks. Sometimes if I haven't got the army or willpower to actually TAKE an enemie's planet, I like the option of making it worthless. Sort of a scorched earth program.

Are you sure it's intentional that no damage is done to the planet if the invasion fails?
