The only reason "we" "think" they break up a certain way is because you clowns (not you personally Ms. Howell but the scientific community at large) told us that is how they break up.

We have such a small sample size that its kind of pointless to say they do or don’t break up in any particular manner.
Its kind of like plucking a grain of sand off a beach and proudly declaring that grains of sand are shaped like this.

It makes sense that, in space, nothing just falls apart. With no outward force of gravity to pull things apart, relatively small bodies can hold themselves together reasonably well.

The only reason "we" "think" they break up a certain way is because you clowns
If not for them "clowns" we would think that the sun and stars rotate around the earth once a day, that the stars and planets were lanterns in the sky, and comets were atmospheric disturbances. Knowledge and truth are very limited and hard won goods, and our models and theories are constantly being revised and refined.
When scientists speak with certainty unwarranted by the facts or their knowledge (I'm talking to you, Neil) or bend their results to curry political favor or power (Hi, Dr. Mann) they are frauds and charlatans. OTOH, people often demand pat answers and simple explanations. The popular explanations are often the most plausible, stripped of the arguments and observations backing them up and without mention of alternative explanations.

According to Neil Sedaka, breaking up is hard to do.

Asteroids Dont Break Up Like You Think They Do: Study Everybody knows that the big ones break up into two medium size pieces. The medium ones break up into three small pieces. The small pieces vaporize.

The funny thing is that I didn’t have an opinion on this until after I saw the headline. The headline made me wonder what I was actually supposed to think about asteroid breakup.
To: BenLurkin
Asteroids Dont Break Up Like You Think They DoIt's true. I thought they broke up over coffee, like two mature adults. Sure, there may be some crying, but, in the end, they decide they can still be friends.
Turns out they do it over email, because they are scared of confrontation.

...and the trick is to zap ‘em until there’s only one small piece floating around, and then wait for the flying saucers to come out and pick them off as they appear.

The headline made me wonder what I was actually supposed to think about asteroid breakup.I was ready to accept that what I was supposed to think before isn't the same as what I'm supposed to think now, but after reading your post I don't know WHAT to think.
