This is an interesting analysis and a topic that will become more prevalent as GenAI advances. I’m leaning more toward “use to help refine” side. Like a colleague who reads the manuscript and says, “You should rephrase this to talk about X,Y,Z”. What do YOU think?

This is so cool! To me, it sounds like this evolved from a Terran species of bacteria that may have hitched a ride at some point, but now has evolved novel adaptive traits to the space environment on the space station. Is this the first evidence of a species evolving in space!?
Bacteria found on Chinese space station has never been seen on Earth or anywhere else
Scientists have discovered a new bacteria species called niallia tiangongensis aboard China's Tiangong space station.

I don't get it.

They gave different groups a big pile of field data and asked them to draw conclusions. Groups drew different conclusions, so ecology is broken?

That's not how we do ecology. We design an experiment based on domain expertise and *collect appropriate data* with the question in mind.
Even faced with the same data, ecologists sometimes come to opposite conclusions
Study highlights powerful role subjective choices can play in research, though some critics urge caution about applying findings too broadly
