Many humans would kill you sooner than talk to you. Would I be wrong for making that same decision? I really think so. The lowest common denominator is not much of a moral compass. To quote one of my favorite sci-fi books: "The difference between raman (human-like aliens) and varelse (mere animals, with whom we cannot relate) is not in the creature judged, but in the creature judging. When we declare an alien species to be raman, it does not mean that they have passed a threshold of moral maturity. It means that we have."
