What the....?

Why do they leap to such huge conclusions.....?
No wonder the general public have such an indifference to
news releases like these...

From a highly non-academic (read dumb Sparky) point of view,
I thought Titan rained methane from the sky, even had lakes
and rivers of the stuff....doesn't that mean by definition it's
a candidate for life?

Saturn's atmosphere has a high methane content...

The rings are methane ice I think...

quite a stretch...
