   This is what I understand you to be saying:
      Carl Sagan said that there's not enough evidence that aliens are
   visiting Earth. This is somehow "offhanded" because he may have ignored 
he
   possibility that the aliens were trying not to leave evidence.
   Am I right?
   If so, what difference does it make? Sagan said that there's not enough 
evidence that aliens are visiting Earth. If there is no evidence because 
visting aliens are careful not to leave any, how does that make his position 
any less true?
