I suspect all they will be telling us is that water once flowed there.
(This is a biggy, for if there was liquid water for any length of time then there almost certainly was life).
I do not think they are going to tell us of evidence of life, we are not going to get a fossilized example of Marciana biota, or a set of Gillevinia straata.

Weeks ago they already told us that they were moving through an area that they suspected to once have been a river bed. Why should they make such a big thing of it now? Whatever they think they have found, I can't blame them for checking the results a thousand times before looking stupid afterwards.

Who knows, but not too many things would justify making such a big deal of.

er, yeah.
"Water = evidence of life". OK, sure.
I'd have said the the presence of discarded Mars Bar wrappers would indicate the presence of life. Water is just water.

Water + Heat + Certain chemical elements in the right conditions = the basics for life to develop, so saying water = life is a half truth

Rather certain that there are some rather specific variations for each of those among a set that includes many variations which would not work.

Water allows differing minerals to contact each other, and given enough time, this would allow a protein to form, the first little step toward life.
