My point was more like there would be plenty of more interesting places to visit rather than Earth because we are a primitive Type 0 planetary system. I'm thinking that If they can traverse space, they'd rather go visit some Type 2 or Type 3 civilizations. We have nothing to offer space travelers other than our own history. And perhaps that may be a little interesting to them, i'm sure they have better and more important things to attend to. Just saying that we're pretty insignificant as we stand now in the universe, so to think that they would even want to visit us is kind of arrogant IMO.
