There are fewer planets than atoms in the universe? Wow, any more breaking news, oh revelator?

Gee, since no one was claiming there are any galactic empires out there, that doesn't seem to be a problem. Maybe the average number of technological civilizations per galaxy is one in ten. Maybe no one can go faster than the speed of light. Fermi's paradox is only a paradox is you assume there should be other civilizations able to reach us. Why would someone assume that? Life could be as common as rocky, watery planets the right size-ish, and technological civilizations could still be incredibly rare. Since we are ignorant of the actual state of affairs regarding the frequency of life on other planets, and how often that life leads to sapience, we can draw no conclusions from our ignorance except that there don't seem to be any alien civilizations close enough for us to detect at this time with our current instrumentation.

You must find our position very convincing if you have to put this kind of crap in our mouths to pretend that we arent'.
