My problem with this line of thinking is that it's all based on earth and earth principles. And it's talking about things that we may not even be able to comprehend, yet here you are spouting off about Type 2 this or Type 3 that.
There is a theoretical Types IV and V civilizations, and unlike 2 and 3, there's a good chance we wouldn't be able to detect it. These get more into the level of :drumroll: Interstellar aliens where they are extra dimensional. But the logical way most aliens would gather energy is through planets and stars, and that could be detected.

But you're speaking in absolutes. I'm saying you can't say things like this:

Even if we had the technology to detect and monitor that kind of shite, we'd still have to be looking in the right place(s).
