This is - absolutely fascinating, actual proof that this is what happened - and has no comments @ 50 minutes because it isn't click bait. ON SPACE no less.

It always amazes me that people dont realize how comments like this out them as exactly the type of person theyre crying about. The reason you assume other people skip nonclickbait headlines is because you know you do

The chemistry is quite beyond me, but I don't see how this is "actual proof that this is what happened." As far as I can tell, they identified that this asteroid is similar to other water-rich asteroids and more intact than samples fallen to Earth. It suggests this type of asteroid is more common than previously thought. I'm not seeing the conclusive evidence here of the origin of water on Earth.
