 There's still no such thing as any Fermi "Paradox."
It's just an erroneous assumption that has been
the basis for much wasted time.
 In science, accuracy matters.

 

If only for the novelty of the experience, try accurately stating what
Fermi actually said.

 What answer changes the fact that you keep misusing the
word "Paradox" and insist on rudely defending that
misuse?

Since you asked, what answer changes the fact that YOU used "paradox"

Accuracy should matter.

You should try it sometime, if only for the novelty of the experience.

Here's an excerpt from a paper on the subject. I tried to agree with the troll on that point, and still got an argument. :)

7. Conclusions
The so-called Fermi paradox misrepresents Fermi’s
views about the feasibility of interstellar travel and the
possible existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life,
uses his name and authority for ideas originated by Hart
and Tipler, and asserts a logical paradox where none
exists, so it is difficult to see any valid use for the
phrase. It’s not Fermi’s idea, and it’s not a paradox.
