Denial of probability is even more so, Mr. Rudiak. A fledgling
culture approaching a technology unforgiving to a predilection
for self-destruction adds to its own gambit incredulity to think
it would not be detected far in advance of itself detecting
extra-planetary intelligence.

And that its problematic state would not demand some form of
reserve, even, perhaps quarantine.
