If I were reviewing this paper, I would be quite surprised that there is no mention of how long it took life to emerge on Earth after there was liquid water. While the earth is around 4.6 By old, my understanding was that liquid water was not present until about 3.8 Bya, and that life probably emerged in the by 3.5 Bya. So, 300 million years for life to emerge in on Earth with liquid water. I realize it's only one data point, but it seems like it should inform the probability calculation.
