Furthermore, when I have brought up the issue that the large contribution (although not a majority) of comets to the impact flux means we can not come close to 100% protection of Earth from Impacts regardless of how many orders of magnitude you overpay for a detection system, you have previously denied both the significance of their contribution and that the warning time for them will be too short to deal with.

For more details see "GRONDINE'S MISREPRESENTATIONS" by Impact expert and author Duncan Steel at
