@badastro Thank you Phil. I keep hearing people say things like "If they go back and get a 5 sigma detection of DMS, that means they certainly found life on this planet," and I'm sitting here like no dude, that would mean they almost certainly detected DMS in the atmosphere of this planet, which is a compound we've seen in comets and interstellar dust -- we have no way of definitively saying it's life at all.
