Yes,

"My work suggests that Mars' oceans disappeared even before the major impacts that formed the Hellas and Isidis basins, and abefore Tharsis grew. IMHO, all traces of that early wet Mars are now smashed to fragments and pulverised into the regolith."

But, they were, or had a GREAT chance of being there. Yes, in the past (obviously).

I'm just presenting my opinion that it wasn't dry in the past. Yes, I'm aware that I'm not the only one the believes that.

Spring did come to Mars and it had a very quick Autumn and Winter during the bombardment period (Hellas and after... Hellas... that's fitting for Mars).

IMHO, Spring can Never come back to Mars unless it has an active core/dynamo and that would 'probably' be during our sun's expansion period.

Yes, the first rains on Mars after 4 billion or so years would be something.
