I agree, specifically the part where they note that probability of collision was greater than 1 in 10k but that they were unable to address the situation (forcing an Earth observation satellite to maneuver).

Nothing that you say is false, but it seems relevant to predicting future issues that this was ultimately due to a bug in their on-call paging system that was detected and remedied three years ago. The thousands of maneuvers they've executed since them without incident seem much more probative.
