100 ml beer < 20,000 ml beer. Even if you return 99 out of 100 samples clean, you'll have wasted more beer wrecking that 100th batch than you saved returning the other 99 samples. Provided you don't start pulling samples until your beer is close to done, you "waste" a beer or less per batch.
Maybe your sanitary technique is better than 99% ... heck, maybe you keep your house clean enough to skip the airlock, and if you store your bottles upside-down, you probably don't really need to sanitize them before you bottle, beer is pretty hostile to most bugs, and, anyway, bacteria can't climb up the walls of the bottle ... it's your beer, you can skip whatever contamination-risk-minimizing steps you want, but in this case, the cost of dumping/drinking the sample is low enough that most people choose not to pour it back down and introduce another (probably relatively small) risk to the whole batch.
