I don't think anyone is trying to pick an argument - this is one of the most interesting topics there are, IMO.
Not sure what you mean specifically, when you say 'physical object premise'.
Also, I have never claimed that my imagination is better than anyone else's. We are all human beings, with the same limitations, biases, and experiences - we are incapable of imagining the things that might be out there. Every idea we come up with will be limited by the our own pathetically inadequate perspective.
But I'll throw this out there: maybe what we know about physics is mostly right and mostly complete. And if so, maybe space travel is all but impossible for organic species. If true, maybe we are more likely to have machines than aliens come and visit us.
