Mike:
      You make an excellent point with the mass of impact  
observation.  I attended a lecture recently at Brown University where  
the presentation was on lunar flashes and gas release.  Only a few  
years ago the mere suggestion that the moon was not completely dead  
and free from any sources of light was professional suicide.  The  
same was true for anyone who suggested that Clovis was not the  
absolute first of the human species to populate North America, or  
that no radiation could possibly be ejected from a black hole...  
There is always a bit of arrogance to the prevailing view in any  
branch of science, which causes people to ultimately question how it  
was they locked themselves into such a narrow point of view.
