The article basically says that any problem that justifies a return to base will require far more engineering time than an overweight landing inspection - and, as stated, unless you really slam the landing, you won't damage the aircraft in the slightest. Epecially in these fuel tight days, the cost of dumping any significant amount of fuel FAR outweighs the cost of the inspection after returning!
