And by being tidal locked in a very close orbit to flaring red dwarf stars means no, they’re not inhabitable.

Yeah, I was thinking that a slow spin or tidal locked planet would not generate much of a magnetic belt to shield the planet.

Being tidally locked around a flaring star is not a bad thing - you can go to the dark side when it flares.

Exactly. The best that scientists can do is hype things up when they find a planet that meets 2 or 3 of the thousands of conditions that allow for life on planet earth.

At this point, it seems a statistical impossibility that they’ll ever find a real habitable planet. That conflicts with scientists’ fantasies though, like the cosmological principle, and it seems they prefer their fantasies.
