Reply to comment by GeoGeoGeoGeo in Magma on Mars Likely - Until now, Mars has been generally considered a geologically dead planet. An international team of researchers led by ETH Zurich now reports that seismic signals indicate volcanism still plays an active role in shaping the Martian surface. by GeoGeoGeoGeo

Summarized:

Other scientists: Mars is dead. It can't tectonic.

This paper : Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that Mars here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.

Other scientists : What's that?

This paper : send rovers across the planet and look for loose change.
