In conclusion? You have just denied the entire rest of your post. First 
you claim that life is rare but intelligence is inevitable given life. 
And to conclude you claim that life is common but intelligence is rare. 
What exactly are you smoking?

Not true.  He stated that there is lots of life, but that it is extremeky 
rare,  1 in 10^75 planets puts an awful lot of space between worlds.

Note that I really don't mean to disagree with your well-reasoned 
conclusions.  The post you responded to really was a mess.  I just wanted to 
point out your own substantial error in understanding the post.
