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.
