True. But we have prima facie evidence that advanced civilizations -- as advanced as we're about to be, in not very much longer -- are very rare.

Do we have evidence of that? It seems like we've not looked in sufficient detail at a sufficient number of solar systems to reach a conclusion of "very rare".

I agree, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Let's not forget the compilers. They're always messing stuff up!

Naw. It's always user error.

I should have included a /s, but was feeling a bit cheeky.

I'm sure you've had to deal with plenty of spurious bug reports in your career :-)
