Better that they go where they should, than that they go where they shouldn't. The more accurate the mapping, the smaller the bomb can be, and the less collateral damage (presuming that the targeting information is correct).

that assumes the bomber isn't intending to maximize collateral damage

True, at least when you're not the one being bombed.
This is a clever point. I think, even if I am being bombed, I don’t want my neighbors to die[1]. I would care very much about why. But if the hammer is coming down on me, it’s better for everyone if it’s only me.
[1] except maybe that one across the alley that starts loud parties at 3:00 am. If I’m going down you can too guy.
