Look, your over-the-top head-exploding invective, combined with abundant world-class rationalizations, is exactly what I'm talking about. You have as much invested in your belief in ET as the most committed fundie has in their beliefs.
Arguing this with you is as pointless as arguing about creation/evolution with a watchmaker. Their superior understanding of watchmaking makes their insights into the concept of irreducible complexity invulnerable.
In your case, you know something about data communication so you should be accorded the last word (albeit nonsensical) about how the empire/federation/bugs communicate without being detectible by prosaic human technology.
The burden of proof is on you. Call Gort to come set me straight if necessary. I'm completely open to evidence, but not conjecture.
