I… What? No, that’s not even close to what the paper concludes.
“We argue that such high concentrations of long-chain alkanes are inconsistent with a few known abiotic sources of organic molecules on ancient Mars, namely delivery of organics by IDPs and meteorites […]”
They’re literally arguing meteorites could not have delivered this concentration of long-chain alkanes.
