At least his colleague was more reasonable and didn’t make the 100% claim. That’s a pretty huge assumption of certainly given the paucity of data.

I take it you know very little about getting government grants. Paucity of data won't get you dough, wild assumptions that grab headlines will. Silly you!

That’s a pretty huge assumption of certainly given the paucity of data.If the planet crosses in front of the star (from our perspective) perhaps we can obtain a chemical spectrum of its atmosphere and determine if certain life-indicating molecules are present in the atmosphere. There are various molecules thought to exist in large numbers only if living organisms are continually replenishing them.
