Good argument....but...
My logic isnt flawed by the classification system. Its a measure of advancement, progression, acheivement etc, 0 meaning low, 2 meaning high, a classification system is that by definition.
Change the numbers if you like, the meaning is the same, something else is better than the other depending where it lives in that scale.
Humans invented the number 1, for a single occurance of something.....again a classification, does that make our math flawed? and 1 + 1 doesnt equal 2?

They don't want/need anything, thats the point of the post
Theres nothing they need to come here for, aside from sheer amusement, but that trait alone, almost guarantees that we are safe. Oh and tourism haha

Good arguments from you, but I think theres counter arguments.
You say that other species may not think like us, but logic again is fundamental and universal, especially if its survival driven and not emotional.

Any animal, alien lifeform, is going ultimately be survival driven, reproduction is survivial at its most raw, without reproduction of that species, there is no species.
Individual survival also is key, and that is driven by simple logical rules. Rules that are going to be the same no matter where you are from.
"I'm hurt and if I carry on, I'm going to die" result "stop what you are doing and recover". That thought process surely, and many others, is going to be the same whether you are human, reptilian, or any other species. Especially when you have come so far and have limited resources, alien-power etc.

Warfare tactics are going to be the same, sure they may have some surprises, but generally theres only so many ways to physically skin that cat.

Thus, the way that I think, is not going to be much further from how they think when driven by even simple logic.

Well...there is the rub. Any Alien Race that has the Tech. to travel Interstellar Distances would have the ability to understand Energy/Matter conversion or understand the Unified Field Theory. Any E.T. Race having these abilities would be so far ahead of us in tech. and understanding that it would be foley to think we could do anything about any Hostilities that could break out.
It is also Highly Improbable that a Race of this Tech. Advancement would need anything from us other than Scientific Curiosity. I KNOW E.T. to be a Reality. They have been visiting for a long time. If they were to make a Hostile Move...I hardly think they would have waited this long or even have a reason to do so.
