It's not just that. Look at the life progress in our world. How long until we're trucking around the galaxy? Not long... So given that, if life were on another project, well, we'd expect them to be trucking around the galaxy too by now. And they're not. That leads to the reasonable conclusion that there are not aliens at the same level as us in this galaxy. Note: For aliens to be at the same level as us and not trucking around, they would need to be hopelessly close to use in evolution. Given how much has happened in just the last 10K years, that seems extremely improbable. Hmm, this was supposed to be a reply to another comment...
