Abstract

In a paper by Alberto Caballero, a methodology is stated for estimating the probability of an exoplanet alien civilization having malicious intentions toward the human civilization after being messaged by it and estimating the number of malicious exoplanet civilizations in the Milky Way. Caballero states his paper attempts to provide these estimates. Caballero's methodology uses questionable hypotheses and excludes important parameters, indicating his methodology and estimates should be rejected.
