They're probably talking more about the how than the who which I think is productive.You've nailed the problem right there - this entire monotonous search for alien life relies heavily on alien life finding us, rather than using scientific research and new technologies to investigate it out for ourselves. Hilariously it's the lazy man's guide to understanding life, the universe, and everything - let someone else worry about it.
We will not conceive an effective cure for rabies, by hoping the virus will treat itself without intervention, likewise how can those bunch of Rip Van Winkles honestly reach a viable conclusion that has the extra-terrestrial life have the technology or means to discover us? It's the daftest most non-productive solution I've ever heard of.
Come on perpetual energy! Demonstrate yourself so that I may discover you and have the bragging rights! XD
