Hmmm .. perhaps it might prove what we'd like to prove .. "wherever there is water, there is life" .. but all it really would show is that there's another moon in our solar system, which has life we recognise .. and has water.

If the template is different it would indicate that life is everywhere there is liquid water. Where did it come from ? Panspermia?? Necropanspermia ?? The questions are endless !

would we recognise it as life if the template was different? I guess it depends on just how much different. Who knows ?

Remember that 1950's science fiction movie where the aliens had a book called "To Serve Man". Too late did people find out as they were being spaceshipped out that it was a cookbook!
