With these (and likely even more) factors the number of planets in our galaxy capable of sustaining such carbon-based life is much smaller than the media and grant-seeking astronomers imply in their articles. The estimated probable number is likely very close to the experimentally known value of one.

OK. Conceding the value of one life-producing planet per Galaxy, how many galaxies do we estimate there are in the known, visible to us, Universe ?

Some have claimed over a trillion.

However you are conceding to something I did not claim.

My earlier statement was that the estimated number of planets in our galaxy capable of sustaining such carbon-based life is likely close to the experimentally known value of one. I did not imply by that statement that carbon-based life (intelligent or otherwise) exists on even one planet in every other galaxy in the known universe.
