People hyping up their interpretations, asserting authority in explaining the things we've never seen before, are ridiculous and worthy of mockery: they speak from the wrong orifice.
However, sharing the joy of "we haven't seen this before, we don't know what it means," and speaking of incorrect and frankly even silly possible interpretations is how we collectively, eventually, understand these things. The process is chaotic and often ugly but works well enough that humans think they're more in control of this planet than the ants are.
Be careful that the justified ire against the authoritative tone of some dipshit reporter doesn't blind you to the wonder of new discovery.
I'm anticipating the "aliens are drinking the sun like a milkshake," theorists to have a field day with this one. I'll read their discussions for amusement and the possibility they might turn up details or implications no one else does, cuz no one else looks at the data the way they do.
