Dear Jim:

By the "opposite hypothesis" I meant sending no probes out at
all, regardless of their type.

Given the likelihood of numerous intelligent societies within
this same galaxy, I would expect them to send very intelligent
probes in all promising directions.

It may well be that bio-engineered "entities" are more useful
than complete robots, but I fear that a bio-critter would be
more troublesome.

What do they do on weekends?

Best wishes
