The article also states it can’t determine if life exists on these exoplanets so even if we determine we found a second earth we will have no idea what’s living if anything on that planet with our current technology. The future looks bright though with many more specialized telescopes being planned.
Problem here is M dwarf stars are likely to have eroded away any primary or secondary atmospheres on rocky worlds within the habitable zone.
Yes, RV & transit observations of rocky planets around M dwarves are definitely a worthwhile undertaking for increased understanding of planet formation, but searching for signs of life around such stars might be like looking for a temperate rainforest in a desert.
