Remember, the NEO confirmations are important.  They are the second observation of a recently-discovered near-Earth object (NEO).  This second observation is critical since it verifies the existence of the NEO and it allows the Minor Planet Center to better refine the orbit and re-asssess the impact hazard with Earth.
