Sounds like it's an interesting find but the researcher may be overhyping its significance and adding their own hypothesis about the conclusion. If it is a 3 sigma result that holds up to scrutiny for those 2 chemicals, what it means is there's an abundance of them thousands of times greater than Earth's atmosphere has (assuming more readings are taken and they also find it). So yes it could be life-filled oceans or it could be some other process we aren't familiar with, and considering the proposed amounts I'm not sure it makes sense to assume life is the most probable source. But it's interesting either way and I agree with you about life generally, so we'll see! Here's a BBC article also: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c39jj9vkr34o
