At some point, if you stretch the definition of life too far, what's the point? Like, what's the point of saying a rock is alive? We've got them everywhere, we know they exist everywhere but we can't really do anything with that info. Knowing something is alive gives us a basis for interacting with it. Saying we found life on Mars isn't important because we found life there. It's important because it challenges or confirms our expectations about so many other things. It's kind of like shooting hoops. The hoop stays in the same place and we try and throw the ball into it from different angles. Each angle we can throw it in from teaches us something new. If you took that hoop and just decided that you get a point by moving the hoop to the ball instead, what does that actually help us with? Another way of saying it. If everyone is a superhero, then nobody is.
