I had logic in college. I drove my logic teacher a little of the deep end. Well....I and the other students did. One day, she looked at us and quietly told us to just get up and walk out. She told us not to say anything, just leave. The next semester, she started teaching at a different college.

Anyway, trick questions are only tricky for those who think in certain ways. There are different ways of perceiving the universe. And my perception is, ET is just another created being.

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.
