We could have already discovered a planet with an atmosphere, a large liquid ocean, mild temperatures and complex multicellular life but because we havenβt looked properly at many of the planets we have discovered we wouldnβt ever know.

I think we first need to discover the actual life on a planet before we can claim we have discovered a planet with life
You donβt have to physically observe a moving animal on an alien planet to discover it. You can detect life from the atmospheric composition. (Oxygen + Methane + Dimethyl Sulfide)

I think for the scientists you still need quite a few more proofs for it to be decisively concluded to be life
Now we need an alternative universe where amphibians, pseudosuchians and other reptiles, snapsids, and dinosaurs/birds all descendent from a hexapod ancestor, instead of a tetrapod ancestor.
