OK...so the Chicxulub crater is shallow because the bolide hit in deep water...thus sending massive water into the atmosphere and, at the same time, cushioning the blow to underlying solid materials.

"Cushioning"? Wouldn't all those cubic kilometers of suddenly vaporized water have the opposite effect?
