- fsiefken 10y agoI wouldn't take it seriously - see the other bluestar posts https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_user_posts.php?userid=9772571 https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_user_posts.php?userid=... - just thoughts strung together, a train of thought, lost and found again... sometimes. I like the style though. I think the comment is about the nature of ETI communication and if it always fits our expectations (like bluestar's comment clearly does not).

- sperglord 10y agoI think they are trying to say that it's too difficult to distinguish noise from a real signal when we have no idea of what the underlying language or code is. I'm not really sure how that's relevant to this thread though.
