The first step of good brainstorming is writing down every idea that comes to mind, no matter how bad, because sometimes a terrible idea can inspire a good one you wouldn't have had otherwise.

Just out of curiosity (no pun intended), wouldn't it be fairly easy to identify false positives? For example, if the concentration of methane appears to increase the longer the rover is stationary the more likely it is that it's coming from the rover rather than the atmosphere, assuming no wind anyway. And if there was wind any methane produced by the rover would be carried away and become a non-issue as well, right?

Whether you enjoyed the game up to that point or not, having your progress reset sucks. If you know it's coming, like in any roguelike, you just restart a little wiser. If you don't know it's coming the fun quickly stops.
To be fair, game over in the good old days (i.e. Contra) only meant losing a couple of hours. It sucked but people knew what they were getting into. Games these days are so long that most people don't want to torture themselves by replaying the last 20-30 hours to restore their characters, especially when they weren't expecting it.

Oh, but he wanted to.
I would say it like a lawyer. "Based on the information currently available to me I am reasonably certain there is no problem at this time."
