“If we find life elsewhere,” he said, “it would likely have the two-biopolymer system.”

Scientists don't really help to advance the cause when they make unscientific statements like this in the lay press.

We currently have no reason to believe a two-biopolymer system is even viable, let alone that is is superior, and no reason whatsoever to think it's more statistically likely.

You did something cool and challenging, which may help us to better understand biochemistry and microbiology. Let it go at that, without such wild speculation.

Agreed. Way too much speculation for my taste, too.
