If SETI wants to make an impact, they should first do more work to disprove the hypothesis that there are small voids within the Earth's crust housing small grey hominids in a breakaway civilization who primarily live in simulated environments, sending UFOs to the surface out of the ocean. It's far more likely we'll find them down there hiding from us than we'll find intelligent life walking around on the surface of planets orbiting natural stars. The former comports with a variety of reports of "extraterrestrials" while the latter contradicts most reasonable assumptions of the game theory around extraterrestrials, if they exist at all.
