The statement translates to: “I think that the benefit for the community that infrastructure investment provides is so much greater than rebuilding the telescope, to the point that if I had absolute control of the limited gov budget I’d allocate all money to infrastructure.” That’s debatable, but it doesn’t seem like a logical fallacy.
