I don't agree with that. If you look at how many negative results are returned, that is a good indicator of whether you're sufficiently testing. For example, the average here in Australia is that 1.7% of tests yield positive cases. That suggests that you're probably testing enough, especially considering if people are self-selecting to be tested when they think they have symptoms. In that case, you'd expect there to be minimal additional asymptomatic cases, or you'd be catching them in the negatives.
Compare that to some states in the US, where it's a full 30% positive rate, and it's obvious the testing there isn't sufficient.
