Slight changes can cause such impacts? Now imagine how many other meteors and comets also will be adjusting because of this. Will one of them once on a course to never hit earth suddenly shift to hit earth in a thousand years time? The confidence i get is the opposite

I don't think asteroids (like the target) have influence on others. There's so much space between them, and their mass is almost neglible.
