An evocative top-level summary, but perhaps too many analogies to Earth presented as factual. There's a lot going on there that we don't understand yet, as shown by many other threads on UMSF.

Much more work to do, and hopefully far more than enough justification from Cassini's continuing efforts to launch a series of dedicated missions. Titan deserves our attention at least as much as Mars, despite the distance and difficulty-there are important things to be learned here.
