Hi EP

While you and I both believe the Impact is reasonable as a cause there are geologists who are more experienced in assessing the data than we who remain sceptical - and we should listen to their challenges to our pet interpretation. That's how science should be done. Unfortunately often it just turns into a shouting match, but we're only human after all.
