I had logic in college. I drove my logic teacher a little of the deep end.

I can imagine, since you seem to have failed to grasp the logic that proves that the statement "Any sufficiently advanced extraterrestrial intelligence is indistinguishable from God" cannot be false.

If you were to present an ETI that CAN be distinguished from God, the author can dissmiss it, because your ETI is clearly not "sufficiently advanced," so his original assertion does (and must) remain true.

Someday, people will be able to distinguish between semantics and truth.
