I find it kind of sad how desperate people get for certain outcomes, in this case proof of extraterrestrial life. Of course we have limited observations of this object. But that doesn't prove anything. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. But here's where the desperation comes in: false equivalence. Like we have limited observations so you can't prove it ISN'T an artifact of alien life. Like the outcomes of it being artificial and natural in origin are treated as equal. It just seems like the worst application and misunderstanding of the anthropic principle ever. No evidence that it's artificial doesn't mean it's natural. It just means there's no evidence of it being artificial. But absent any evidence, natural origin is the most likely explanation.
