BBC -- Logic check

Reading a BBC article and noticed a cute little bug:
Titan will provide a unique opportunity to travel back in time. Conditions on the Saturnian moon today resemble Earth's own atmosphere billions of years ago, in which the chemical reactions necessary for the origin of life must have taken place.
No, they didn't have to take place. They possibly did, but must assumes that the probability of life forming from non-life is above zero, which you'll have a hard time making a case for to some.
