You're quite wrong on this, if I predict that the Rosetta mission will find that a comet's surface is rocky, and any subsurface samples contain almost no water/volatiles (less than what is needed to make outgassing a viable mechanism for comet jets), and they are very similar to the dust collected by the Stardust mission, I will need no math to make the claim.
