Your characterization of that post is perhaps mistaken? I didn't get the impression that the suggestion was we do nothing. How I understood the posts were, that you say to do something without providing an example of what to do.

"Care!"
"How do I show that I care in a meaningful way?"
"Your world view is broken."

You could have solved this entire back and forth with, "By doing Tasks A, B, C, or all of them."

Possibility of Life On Mars Looking More Remote 169

Riding with Robots writes "The never-say-die robotic geologist Opportunity continues its extended explorations in Victoria Crater on Mars. The latest findings from the mission suggest that while plenty of water did exist in this location, it was so salty that life would have a very hard time gaining a foothold. 'Not all water is fit to drink,' said Andrew Knoll, a member of the rover science team. 'At first, we focused on acidity, because the environment would have been very acidic. Now, we also appreciate the high salinity of the water when it left behind the minerals Opportunity found. This tightens the noose on the possibility of life.'"
