Remember the early days of the rovers? The famous "rotini" object? When some reporters finally forced Squyres to comment he said(I paraphrase) "if we find a lot more of them we would take a look but if we only find one then we will ignore it". Now isn't that a great response? If every scientist on earth followed that methodology we would have precious few discoveries. If only one example of anything is found, throw it away unless you find hundreds more. I see we are heading down the same path of willfull ignorance. There will be many more unusual objects at the Phoenix site. But unless they are made of ICE, they will not be mentioned.
