If it's bad and we avoid it = win

If it's bad and we don't avoid it = potential disaster

If it's no problem and we avoid it = Some unnecessary losses

If it's no problem and we avoid it = No problem

Going by the pattern of the comment, I would assume this was a typo. Maybe they intended to say: "If it's no problem and we DON'T avoid it = No problem"
