Well that is certainly a more rational risk reward assessment than we get from EP who wants to waste 10s of billions on a job that can be done for 10s to 100s of millions (detecting small impactors).

As it stands it appears we are headed for getting the job done using LSST, PANSTARS, and DCT for only tens of millions.
