The article is not claiming xenocide; it is saying that the probe may have killed the life in the sample when it added water. Yes the headline is a little ambiguous, but I assume most readers have built up a filter for that by now.
- iraqmtpizza 3y agowalking through sewage does indeed strengthen the immune system. at least as much as water filters out the weak aliens. there was no life. the only fluid anywhere near the planet surface is a weak amount of carbon dioxide. there are no billion-year-old organisms still alive from when there was liquid water. I've heard of child-like wonder but this is just embarassing. i hope none of my taxes go to this "if elvis is alive, he lives on the moon" is a true statement only because elvis is not alive. if life was in the sample, it was killed by water is a true statement only on the technicality that the premise is impossible. the author either deeply misunderstands propositional logic or it's intentional clickbait. probably both. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=truth+table+%28p+implies+q%29+and+%28%28not+p%29%29 https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=truth+table+%28p+implie... https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=truth+table+%28p+implies+q%29 https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=truth+table+%28p+implie...
