Exactly. And also, it will be primordial "life as we know it." It interests me that we search based on what we know is life. There is a huge possibility that we could stumble upon some kind of life and not even know it. As we have yet to find anything living yet, I think the science population should keep an open mind and not search for the items we know can start life: blue-green algae, water, etc.
Just my 2 cents from the Carl Sagan portion of my brain.
