It might be just me, but ever since I learned what a weasel-word was, I can't look at the title of a pop-sci article like this one without feeling the urge to dismiss it out of hand. They just stand out as weak and vague statements of things which compared to other sciences, they don't seem to be sure of much.
But who can blame them? They're trying to prove that a single cell, which is more complex than any system we've made as a species to date, spontaneously erupted from inanimate matter.
If I was tasked with proving that a usb drive with every codebase on Github on it made itself, and my livelyhood was on the line, I'm not sure what I'd do either.
