That makes a fair bit of sense, especially when you think about the dangers of high speed rubbish in orbit. A tiny fragment travelling at several kilometres per second will blow right through anything you put in it's way, while a larger, slower object is more likely to deflect (but still probably kill anyone aboard the target).
