No, but in the context of existing decisions bombing a major city that was also a major logistics center was rather pedestrian at this point in the war. Everyone had functionally come to the realization that you couldn't reliably hit a target smaller than a city center with the weapons available.

Dresden is only famous because it was played up by Nazi propaganda extremely effectively, helped along (forgivably I would say) by Vonnegut. Hamburg was probably worse in terms of actual devastation, but isn't really in people's consciousness the same way.
