    It talks about a study and paper that was attempting to prove the null hypothesis (ie the clues that could point to past life on mars aren’t due to past life on mars). It failed to prove that hypothesis. It’s a subtle but important difference: it doesn’t prove past life on mars; it failed to prove there wasn’t past life on mars.
