Would you plaster lights all over your ship, cruise right up and say booga booga, and then put probes in anal cavities if you were trying to go undetected?

Sort of like a medical team in a helicopter over the Galapagos Islands monitoring the health of the fauna, isn't it? They don't care about our emotional reaction to the examinations; and, we are powerless to stop them. That is generally the way high-vs-low technology and intellect encounters go, isn't it?

The main difference is that scientists studying the Galapagos islands exist while wormhole traveling space monsters don't.

And if they did, they wouldn't be covering their ships with sparkly disco lights any more than a scientist would run into the middle of the island doing the stomp dance and hitting a cowbell.
