I'm not sure that's relevant - the fact that we can detect enough earth-ish sized planets to reveal a consistent bimodal size distribution is compelling on its own.

The issue is that there's some force or factor at play that we don't understand - which means that it can't be modeled. If the behavior was emergent from the physics that we do understand, researchers would likely have recrea

That would be compelling if there were planets up to a certain size. However, that's not the case. You have increasingly large planets, a big gap, and then increasingly large planets again. It's a bimodal distribution, which impli

The problem with this (very interesting and fun) theory is that Earth would have to somehow be the very last planet to develop such intelligence amongst the large list of planets within detection range, which seems unlikely.

Sure, but $20 an hour isn't really "more" than what people are making in degreed professions. > Then there's overtime, which your salaried white-collar worker doesn't get at all. Not true across the board - in fa

Disagree. Motor impairment is one issue, yes, but so is mental impairment. People under the influence of drugs can have poor decision making, even if their motor skills are fine. Driving on meth is still driving under the influence, and tho

There's not another viable test though that can act on a shorter window than that. Companies aren't out of line for not wanting their employees to be working while under the influence of marijuana - the problem isn't that the
