False.  They know that water based life exists.  They do not know that 
any other kind of life exists so it's reasonable to consider liquid 
water to be a positive indicator that life is possible.  That does not 
mean that they rule out the possibility of other bases for life.  But 
they have no idea how to look for it.

The real problem is the conflation of "life is possible" with "life is 
likely".
