The "Barn Door" Argument, The Precautionary Principle, and METI as "Prayer" - an Appraisal of the Top Three Rationalizations for "Active SETI"
Proponents of Active SETI, or METI, defend their messaging-to-aliens agenda with fallacious arguments like the Barn Door Excuse, that technologically advanced extraterrestrials must have already listened to our radio leakage, (e.g. "I Love Lucy"), hence more direct beaming will not betray...

Further, sending pinpointed, collimated messages will only lead to positive outcomes. In fact, laser-like "messages" are far more powerful at great distances than old-time television, and those concerns about potential downsides should be appraised by scientific risk-assessment. It is argued that METI is psychologically driven as a version of the ancient human practice of prayer. | ||
