Why Are Most Impact Craters Perfectly Circular? (Rather than Ovals)

A question sometimes asked is why an asteroid hitting a surface at an angle still produces a circular crater. Intuition suggests that there should be a smooth transition towards increasingly elliptical craters as the impact angle gets lower and lower. However simulations and experiments show that craters remain circular over most of the range of possible impacts.
