But strongly, strongly implies that. It's misleading marketing.

My understanding is that the presence of it strongly implies life on Venus. Just because people have a prior on that doesn't mean the evidence is inherently weak. If it turns out there is bacterial life on Mars and on Venus (both potentially the case) people who claimed we needed "extraordinary evidence for extraordinary claims" will look conservative in retrospect.
