List the data that unequivocally implies a mundane explanation over an alien race building a mega-structure.
No, the absence of alien civilisation discoveries in our history is not that data.
Works both ways.
I'll wait.

Au contraire. It is perfectly valid. We haven't yet detected anything that's identifiably an alien race.
And there's nothing coming from that star that's screaming "aliens" either.
All you know is that the light's varying. To jump from there to "must be alien super science" is illegitimate.
There's nowhere near enough information to conclude anything at this point. Show me some patterned EM or some monochromatic light and I'll rethink it.

I guess everybody knows that it looks like the dimming is from poor calibration of the very old Harvard University Observatory photographic plates. False alarm...

List the data that unequivocally imply an alien race is building Dyson spheres over some more mundane explanation.
I'll wait.

We aren't concluding anything at this point - it is confirmed as neither aliens or any other such explanation. (Equipment error, natural phenomena, etc.)

Interesting. I'd say the same about you, because I find credulity, ignorance and jumping to unwarranted conclusions to be the sign of being a dolt. I guess we all have our preferences.

Thing is can you say as much about my "unwarranted conclusion" if people like Kaku agree with it? I don't think anybody is saying anything conclusively at this point. You are acting a little hyper-sensitive over possibilities. what's up with that?
