BTW, I won't confuse exotic theories with anomalism.

But that doesn't mean that from time-to-time extraordinary
claims happily obtain the extraordinary evidence required
to cross-over from anomalism to orthodox science.
Some historic examples:
quantum theory.
dark matter.
a repulsive cosmological force.
Europa's subsurface ocean.
Ice at Mercury's poles; and the moon's.

So...If Robert Clark turns out to be right with
his extraordinary claims about 'martian mud' or briny
liquid near the surface of Mars...I'll be the first to
congratulate him.

Cheers.
