Something about that Super Earths not transferring life to other planets is counter-intuitive to me. I don't trust that result.
I'll have to think on that for a while, maybe I'll have an epiphany or something.
It's funny how science can often be counter-intuitive, Rusty. If I remember the article correctly, the reason the Super-Earth couldn't seed other planets with life had to do with the escape velocity. There might be ways for an SF writer to overcome that.
