In a small word, with one syllable and two letters: NO

In a longer word with many syllables and two spheres: Bollocks

I have tried to carefully show you that I have reviewed the TES temperatures for these places AND TIMES.

Sure, it gets hotter later, but not AT THE TIME OF THE IMAGE.

If you fail to understand my words it is either because you are wilfully supporting a prejudged concept of the nature of Mars, about which you are besotted beyond the point of rationality,...

or because you are simply stupid.

I do not have the data to choose, and in fact these are not mutually exclusive domains.

Watch my lips.

- carefully.

"The temperature of the scene M1001115 is around 170-180 Kelvins AT THE TIME THE IMAGE WAS TAKEN"

You have a choice from here on...

You can accept or reject that observation.

If you reject it, then please explain carefully why.

If you accept it, then I would be really interested to see how you can wriggle out of the consequences for phase chemistry of water at these temperatures.

You have 4 sides of paper, or the electronic equivalent, and 2 hours, to be taken at any time convenient to you. You will be measured by standard scientific yardsticks of rationality, continuity, and parsimonity.

I will be your examiner...

Good F'ing luck
