Perhaps, Sterling, you are saying we should keep an open mind.
I don't totally disagree, but
There are some things that can help distinguish a meteorite from other rocks,

METEORITES, A Petrologic-Chemical
Dear List,
Mercury as a source for meteorites arriving on earth seems like the
most unlikely occurrence. I hope someone can point out where I am
wrong, since it would be wonderful to imagine the possibility that
material from the Swift Planet could every make the upstream trip here.

They concluded that there should be a number of meteorites of
Mercurian origin already here -- around 1/3 to 1/2 the number which
originated from Mars.
The fact that Mercurian meteorites have not been found at 1/2 to 1/3 the number
We should always keep an eye out for meteorites that have unusual
characteristics.
That said, I believe there is one fatal flaw in the calculations of the poster

it is the only planet where impact speeds routinely range from 5—20 times the
planet's escape speed; this causes impact
