I clarified it so many times that at a certain point you’re just being a pedant. Find a more interesting point.

And the two possibilities amid being alone or not being alone are certainly not roughly equal.
But again, this statement is false based on current evidence, and even with the Drake equation (which you are misinterpreting the potential and limits of entirely) there is still the possibility of it being false. There’s no current scenario where you can definitively say we aren’t the most technologically advanced intelligent life. Doing so is ridiculous, so why should I take your pedantry seriously and care whether I’m being precise? You’re pretending a less than 100% probability of something being true is the same as it actually being true. I think anyone should be able to see the obvious flaw in that, so worry about helping yourself get there, I guess?
