Bacteria was just an example. binoculars and a pack of dogs works just the same.
My personal objection to the Fermi paradox is his "we would have found evidence" statement. any civilization capable of observing earth would have to be MILLIONS of years more advanced than ours, it's a bit presumptuous to think we have the mental capacity to even begin to understand their technology or that we can detect them with our shitty radio emissions.
Hanson's list is a slightly different debate...anyway... interesting questions
