It's just statistically likely that we aren't the only life in this galaxy
Isn't that what the article is saying though, that statistically it is likely that we are unique and a fluke?
The inverse gambler's fallacy, named by philosopher Ian Hacking, is a formal fallacy of Bayesian inference which is similar to the better known gambler's fallacy. It is the fallacy of concluding, on the basis of an unlikely outcome of a random process, that the process is likely to have occurred many times before.
