Exactly.  I knew Frank and talked with him about it. The point was to identify what we knew and didn't know, and suggest where future efforts
ought to be concentrated.  Back then (early 70s) we knew significantly less than we do now, but what we don't know continues to dominate. "Pure speculation" isn't the case.

What's truly insane is that you DEFEND, rudely, the fraud
that was Darwin, the myth of his inventing or discovering
(whatever it is you pretend) "Evolution" when in fact the
load didn't even believe in evolution. He used a word. But
he wrote, which you might of heard of, and he described
the same pseudo scientific bullshit that Stalin, Mao and
others who REJECTED evolution believed in.
You don't even know what this means!  It's Greek to you!
And you think "Abiogenesis" is (now get this) "Science!"
Omg, yet you blow a gasket over the Drake Equation!
Can you honestly not grasp the astounding level of
hypocrisy the collective displays?
The Drake Equation is a powerful tool for showing you how
your assumptions impact your perception. Change your
variables -- your assumptions -- see big changes in your
results.
