but has anyone here (other than myself) actually read the Brown et al. paper (or accompanying News and Views piece by Jedicke) in the most recent issue of Nature?:

The flux of small near-Earth objects colliding with the Earth
P. BROWN, R. E. SPALDING, D. O. REVELLE, E. TAGLIAFERRI &
S. P. WORDEN
Abstract

Press releases and popular news accounts are notorious for hype and misrepresentation.
