I think two things: one, that it is indeed a hypothesis that fits the data, and in a way a very exciting prospect. As Sherlock Holmes said, once you eliminate the impossible, whatever is left must be the answer. The other is, there must be possible explanations we haven't thought of (even if not actually correct). Furthermore, I'm in no doubt prof Loeb is a great scientist, but as for this being a key justification for the findings, there was a host of great minds holding crazy and unsubstantiated beliefs only vaguely linked to their core expertise. Some of these crazy ideas turned out to be true, but not all. All I'm saying, this is cool and I'll follow that, but I'm not kitting out the anti-alien survival shelter just yet.
