Dennis-

According to the presentation, the samples were subjected to double blind
testing with at least one other (unnamed) scientist coming up with the same
results.  This does not eliminate human, proceedural, or instrumental
error.  But, I would say that the chances have been reduced by quite a bit.

If this amounts to anything, it will be announced when they have all their
data and results compiled and written up.

Of course, the debate will merely continue on a different level.  Note that
the debate on the fossil microbes on the Mars Rock continues at a low
background noise level.

Okay, you get a B-minus for creativity, but let's not encourage others to
treat this matter as a joke. (begin Carl Sagan accent) If these findings
hold up, it will be interesting to see how this piece of space "debris" is
fit into our understanding of our place in the universe. (end accent)
