That was the primary reason I brought the whole press release to the list.
But when something is short and in the public domain why not just post it
And, with people like E. P. it is best to have your documentation clear so later when he tries to change facts around you can call BS on him.
They used other means to detect impactors and have extrapolated from that. They do go on to say this is probably the low end limits.
All in all a much cheaper method than sending telescopes to the Moon to do surveys better done here or in LEO. BTW, I'm willing to bet no scientist claimed 100% detection by any means and if they did there must be some caveat.
