It's hard to get excited about this. They've probably discoved another planet in a goldilocks zone or something.

That's a pretty contrived comparison.
Does it really bother you so much that the person you were originally responding to said something that may have been a little hyperbolic? You're making a huge issue of something very small. I hate the overuse of the word pedantic, but that's what you're being. Casual conversation leads to casual overuse of words like "all" and "every" and "definitely". By interpreting such things literally, you are showing an ignorance of the distinction between the appropriate writing style and word choice on an internet message board and the appropriate style and choice in an academic publication.
Either that, or you have some kind of issue with the idea of extra-terrestrial life or the scientific acceptance thereof, and are using this opportunity to vent your frustrations and focusing on a minor oversight in what that person said whilst ignoring the central issue.
