This same group has been pushing this theory for a decade with no direct evidence. Each paper is just confirmation bias in action.

Some amateur types have been pushing this for decades with zero evidence, but as the article says, a legit pair from Caltech finally found some circumstancial evidence it could be possible, and this expanded group is just throwing more on the pile. I think it's just one of those "Well...let's say it's possible, here's what we'd be looking at for evidence..." kind of deals.
