Oh, yes, the point on the asteroid alone is possible, but a mass extinction at the same time an asteroid nearly destroys the wold being mainly caused by something other is a hell of a coincidence.

Not actually that big of coincidence. We tend to forgot the scale of these things. I remember reading that dinosaurs were already in decline for 2-3 million years. So if asteroids like that hit once per 100 million years, odds are not that small. Maybe 3% give or take.
