A bit hyperbolic I'd say. "These observations are consistent with dark stars which we can't be sure exist. And also early galaxies but they must be dark stars!"

I agree with the researchers that they should investigate further, but disagree with the author of this article that we should assume they're dark stars at this point. It strikes me as unlikely.
