The title is a bit misleading. One other lab's failure to reproduce the results does not prove invalidity of the original publication. It certainly raises some eyebrows, but it makes sense to wait and see what comes of Wolfe-Simon's further analysis before we declare that arsenic life definitely does not exist.

Agreed; a sensationalist title adds nothing to an otherwise accurate article!
