As I recall, this hypothesis is derived more from the suspected origins of water on Earth. Many suspect water came from one or more icy meteors impacting Earth. Earth has had water for a long time in its life, and any meteor impacts delivering that water would need to have travelled vast distances and thus would have to have been formed very long ago.
