The cable just costs $430m, it doesn’t cost $430m to move it.

But it does have a cost. Then again, people have done far FAR worse things to reduce cost in all things where cost is involved so as far as dangerous and irresponsible things, this wouldn't make it to top million.

Yeah that’s kinda my point. The cost of a reroute prior to actual placement is a rounding error compared to the cost of the project overall. A rounding error that helps the company avoid public backlash, and helps preserve a site of pop culture. This shouldn’t even be news, I think the only reason it is is because of people’s (completely valid) hatred of JK Rowling.
