I'm not a biologist but:
Assuming that arsenic life just adapted, we don't know if it is possible that arsenic life can evolve in a non-earthlike environment or not, do we?
I.e. we don't know if life can evolve in a non-earthlike environment.

In other words, we can now consider other temperature ranges and chemical soups and compare them against a new baseline for viability.
