That's an interesting assertion.

I presume you mean this in the same way that we might say "Of all the coronal mass ejections in the galaxy, the ones produced by our own sun are the most easily preventable"?

At this point in history, I think our ability to protect ourselves from a dinosaur-killer asteroid is doubtful, to say the least.
