Jesse Patoka asked this question about
Project Hail Mary:
When the Taumoeba are discovered to be able to travel through xenonite towards the end, did anyone else worry that the Nitrogen resiliency was inaccurate? And that the Taumoeba were just hiding in the xenonite to avoid the nitrogen?
The book states that this evolution happened in parallel to the Nitrogen resilience, but I think a good scientist would have retested with a plastic/metal environment.
