Yes, please, let's write up the science properly. Take one interesting observation (methane on Mars), add in at least two hypotheses as to causation (life, volcanoes) neither of which have been observed before (as the article confirms) but with one probably more likely than the other. All clear? Now write it up as follows: Take the probably less likely explanation and SCREAM AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS that it's fact (headline). Then carry on writing the most convoluted "it's life, but maybe not, unless it's life, then it's cool, but we don't know, but we're excited if it turns out to be life because we believe it's life".
