If the pieces are small, they may pose a risk to orbital assets, but would burn up in the atmosphere if they came to earth. I don’t see how they could have expected any better.

What is maddening about the article is that it doesn’t state Dimorphos’ size to give some perspective on how much of it was dislodged. That its trajectory was changed by a degree could be a lot depending upon how far away it was, but that’s not stated either.
