Yes, that's what I meant. Yes, some have become pests, but many haven't. In the end, in this situation then there is nothing to lose - having some actual life surviving is better than none at all if you ask me.
Again, the original flora has to have survived first, plus genetic modification does not create new traits out of nowhere - they have to come from somewhere, which may well be plants from Pandora. the intention isn't to recreate Earth exactly the same, but simply to restore it to a more natural state by whatever means allow that to occur.
