Rosetta data supports idea that Earth water came from asteroids and not comets; water a different type - heavier:

That would only be logical...said Spock! :D LoL

But not to joke...asteroids do come from inner Solar system...where they are more protected from radiation and harsh enviroment like in trajectories beyond Pluto...
So it would only be sane to think that on asteroids there is more water than in objects from the Oort cloud...
