Well if it is a piece of lander hardware then I would HOPE the team could identify it!!! So say it is hardware but don't totally ignore it. I had hopes that the Phoenix team would conduct activities differently than the MER boys by actually talking about soil anomalies but I can see that will not be the case. It would appear that the scientific method has evoloved to the point that ONLY observations that suit/support your agenda are investigated. Everything else, no matter how compelling, is ignored.
