What sort of planets? Big super-Jovians, which are the ones we can
detect, as far as I know? Given how common binaries are, the planets
we've been seeing strike me as possibly just being results of the normal
stellar genesis being a bit imbalanced. It doesn't tell us anything
about having a terrestrial planet in the biozone.
