Self-replicating, though. Exponential growth in number of probes.

  Sure, but the conclusion drawn was that it indicated "no probe-building civilizations"

    I think "probe" in that conclusion was a shorthand for "self-replicating space probe built for the purpose of utilizing exponential growth for scouting galaxy in reasonable time"

  Limited by the actual resources to support that exponential growth.
