   As metorite impacts are random events, and the debris from such impacts   
   would likely be randomly sized, please explain the uniform size and   
   distribution of the blueberries.   
      
   You've make a very interesting hypothesis (don't try to hide behind opinion,   
   you've given a mechanism for it occuring)   
      
   What would disprove your hypothesis?
