I am ok with the evidence. If you can conclusively demonstrate that these are straight weathered basalts, I can deal with that. If you can conclusively demonstrate to me that Mars has been and is completely lifeless, I'd find that extraordinary, but I wouldn't be crushed or shocked, I'd be wrong. Being wrong is great, if you learn something from it.

But so far, you haven't convinced me that your reasoning is all that reliable, considering your White Mars fiasco. So, you were wrong, big deal, you were spectacularly wrong, that's great, and you weren't crushed, that's even better. I salute you.

Hopefully, you will be as spectacularly wrong in the future as you have been in the past. The trick is, to admit you're wrong. So go ahead, give it your best try. I am keenly interested in what people have to say about these rocks, besides 'They're Rocks', or 'they're obviously igneous'. Yes, we know Mars was molten once.

Somebody called them rip up clasts.
