Then get the evidence as I desribed that I cannot ignore.
Get it to a lab. Get it to a TV station. Get it verified by labs around the world, get it on the cover of National Geographic and Scientific American.
Change the course of human history with it.
Ill be the first to celebrate the discovery.
Short of that, I am not interested.
Sorry. I am a hard ass unapologetic skeptic in the full sense of the word.
No hard feelings. Just who I am.
You have your answers for you. Thats great.
While I do not agree with all this Alien business, I do think it’s silly to need proof for everything. I’m the last one who wants to admit it, but weird shit happens a lot more than people think.
Of course when it does, you should turn your back on it. Keep yourself sane.
You make it sound like there are no TYPE II errors to be concerned about.
That’s IRRATIONAL.
TYPE II errors are every bit as common as TYPE I errors and just as deadly.
Stanton Friedman shredded the whole SETI enterprise with great humor. You can read it on his website.
BTW, there have been interesting artifacts etc. examined in multiple labs with otherworldly sorts of compositions verified. But it’s lost in the shuffle in that the MSM is typically ordered to avoid publishing the solid stuff or to publish bits of it sandwiched between lots of discounting stuff that leaves an impression of ridicule or weak evidence.
Assuming that’s the true story is virtually a guaranteed route to a horrendous TYPE II error.
