Absolutely nothing on the Rovers is specifically designed to look for life.

True enough.

But then one can just as truely say that since a camera was not designed to look for life and since the rock abrasion was not designed to look for life that, therefore, if the combination of the two discovers this . . .



. . . then it was not life.

There's no means on the Rover to 1) Get a closer microscope pic or 2) specifically analyze the chemistry of the "rotini" as opposed to the surrounding rock.
