I’d not heard that before but I’d rather be hit by 10 pounds of gravel than a 10 pound boulder.

If either is traveling at 10K mph it probably doesn't make much difference in space. You're either instant Swiss cheese or instant soup. If there's a nice blanket of atmosphere to burn through before it hits you, then definitely the gravel is the better option.

Good point. Your first point is also good.

Your first point suggests the boulder is the better choice because it, as compared with a spray of gravel, has less chance of hitting you.
