Should we be comforted?

I ask, considering that the ability to find smaller asteroid chunks seems to have improved, should we be comforted by the fact that it's possible to find more of them...

or concerned about the fact that more of them are being found as they zip on by?

Well, statistically, the statistics haven't changed. What I think is changing is perception... we could get hit by one of these things.

Let's keep looking for 'em, then.
