Why did NASA launch a spacecraft into an asteroid?

I’m sure they did this whole thing on paper before executing, but why did they need to actually do it?

Normally, I’m all for funding space agencies, but there doesn’t seem like a whole lot of value in doing this. If you know all of variables in concept, you should be able predict that it would work. Right?

Just to make sure it worked the same way the math said it should.

You never know for sure until you actually try it.

Also flashy tests help with funding.
