If you recall, in -Contact- the first 1000 primes were repeated over and over gain. If I got the primes one, that is a long shot. It I get them several times, that is an artifact producing them.

Even if there were a natural source of primes, it would take an intelligence to build a device for transmiting the output of that source.

If it sounds intelligent, moves intelligently and smells intelligent, it is intelligent ---- most likely.
