I think its a fair question. According to the article it seems most modeling is based on known occurrences on Earth which makes sense. Yet do we really know if these interactions work in a totally different planet environment? There are a lot of assumptions that go into this modeling work. No question it's good work. Yet it would be nice if the underlying assumptions and modeling data is open to public peer review. Especially since this is coming from a publicly funded institution. All that said I think its really fascinating and hope the hypothesis holds up.
