Why do you say it’s a false assumption?

This is all really all about you and your assumptions and biases.

Thanks.

But I literally haven’t yet gotten to books I had bought on vacation in 2008; so it might be awhile.

I did briefly say but you must not have understood. There are many factors believed critical for life as we know it which eliminate most stars in the universe from consideration as candidates for supporting life on a gravitationally captured planet.

Then, given a suitable star having one or more gravitationally captured planets, there are many factors which will eliminate most of those planets from being capable of supporting life as we know it.

. This is all really all about you and your assumptions and biases.

No. Not at all. Anyone relying on the estimated total number of stars in the universe as evidence life as we know it... especially life more advanced than ours is operating on blind faith.

It gets worse than that. The book I haven't read is The Anatomy of Melancholy. So it's not even physics.

Well put.
Reality can be a bummer sometimes ... just ask a "trans-sexual"
(and I apologize for changing the subject of your post. Cheers!)
