I think this is probably a reasonable argument. It may also explain why if aliens visited mankind in the past why they don't do so now. Perhaps they realize that far too many of us are skeptics and have a good understanding of matters scientific.

Regardless, I'm not too worried about having to decide between supernatural and highly advanced technology. If aliens show up on our planet at this point, I really don't think it will be to do parlor tricks in order to impress us into building them stone monuments and mesa landing strips. It'll be to wipe us off the face of the earth. Undecided
