Well, given the above, any response from the "regime" might be said to be aimed at misdirection.
That begs the question, if everything points to regime misdirection, how do you know its really "regime misdirection"?
As an aside, I was taught to never misuse "begging the question." But since its previously misused definition has now become acceptable, I do.;-) What a relief!
I’ve been an amateur astronomer for fifty years. I have a somewhat realistic understanding of the distances involved. There is no conceivable reason to travel interstellar distances.
A technology developed enough to move between stars is developed enough not to need to. Whatever is seen in the sky has a natural or man-made explanation, IMHO.
