Sorry how can there be 100% chance of life???

The temperature is suspected to be very approx -20C on a good day, we
know nothing about any atmosphere (it could have lost it for all we
know), we know nothing about the chemical structure of the planet, and
we don't even have a highly accurate idea of the distances.

Don't forget to read the fine print on these discoveries LIKE THE ERROR
BARS!

Granted there is possibly more chance of life there than most places to
date we have seen but let's not go over the top here, (our moons in 'the
habitable zone' but doesn't have life last time I looked...)

The earth is still a statistically lucky place to live..
