They've made extensive and detailed arguments, but they are not rooted in reality. They are rooted in speculation and extrapolation built on towers of assumptions (assumptions, then assumptions about assumptions). It reminds me a bit of the Fermi paradox. There's nothing wrong with engaging in this kind of thinking. My problem is when people start using it as a basis for serious things like legislation. Should we ban high power radio transmissions because a rigorous analysis of the Fermi paradox suggests that there is a high probability we are living in a 'dark forest' universe?
