Re. your equation above

Agreed prior criteria showed; A and B therefore C
GCMS was defective therefore its results should be thrown out.

We could argue about this for ever so Let's agree to disagree.

I neglected to add in my reply #8 above that the case against a Biological explanation of the LR results would be significantly strengthened if Phoenix

1) provides irrefutable evidence that there are no Organics
2) No particles that could be of bio-origin are found by the OM and AFM
3) Superoxides are found
4) The TECP provides no indication of a water cycle in the soil near the surface

I anxiously await the results.
