Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Venus?

If we found signatures of long-chain hydrocarbons or other complex molecules that would be better evidence since they would require some similarly complex process (relatively speaking) to generate them continuously.

From the NatGeo article: 'The study team set out to determine whether phosphine could be made on Venus in the absence of biology. Among the scenarios the scientists investigated were volcanic outgassing, intense lightning strikes, tectonic plates rubbing together, bismuth rain, and cosmic dust. Based on the team’s calculations, none of those events could produce the molecule in such abundance."

Holla back when their results are reproducible. Because science.

Not to be pedantic (but I'm going to be pedantic), but what the scientists did doesn't yield "results" in the sense that an observation isn't an experiment with predicable results. What we want is their observations to be repeatable with different instruments, or even the same instrument at a different time.

And to the extent that the result is measurable, it already has been reproduced. When the observatory in Hawaii that detected the phosphine noticed their results, the first then they did was ask other observatories to confirm their finding. Which they did.
