This doesn't sound true given what we know about asymmetric warfare in general. What if we discovered the object really was an artillery shell sent to destroy us, but the civilization at the other end only has the resources to fire one every ten years with an accuracy of 1% to hit the Earth?
We might be like a primitive tribe facing an attacker with battleships - a technology that might as well be magic, but still one we can adapt to by abandoning the seafront village and retreating into the jungle.

- dmurray 1y agoExactly. The guys with spears and bows can't defeat the battleship, but if they hide out in the jungle long enough, maybe someone else will come along to sink it.
