 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

On a technicality we could build a dyson swarm the problem is getting said energy back to earth in a efficient way.

A dimming event seems to be underway now.

Around 2 1/2% so far. Scopes around the world are swinging to view what is going on.

If the aliens have a sense of humor they would arrange their megastructure to make a smiley face of the disk of the star just as we achieve the ability to resolve the disk with speckle imterfereometry.

It's not been dimming. It's been snuffed out. sucked into a black hole without an accretion disk.

Out of all the possible explanation why would we choose the one that requires an extraterrestrial super intelligent race?

The trouble with Dyson constructions (sphere, swarms, rings, - any of them really) is that they require such a massive investment of technology and energy that by the time a particular civilization is able to build one, they've probably already licked the problems that a Dyson Whatever is meant to solve.
