In my opinion, DM was surprised to find a Helium show (especially at 2.2%) so high up. I thought this was the reason he was flying out to the site when we got that tweet from the airport. It seems clear that he wanted to test that section, but ended up casing it in Tai-1, which they were going to come back to. If there is helium flowing through the lake bed formation, then as the other sites are shallower, the more data they have about what is flowing at that depth, the better.
If there is no discovery from Tai-2, they will have a better idea of what is flowing at shallower depths which will assist with identifying potential areas that will have free gas trapped. It may be that a different type of trap structure is required if the helium is just flowing through Tai, but not being concentrated in one place.
