He does have a valid point. Historically speaking the more advanced/powerful have always taken the resources of the weaker. Be it human or material resources.
In our 50+ years of space flight we have managed to send men to our moon and probes past our planets. Another life form that would have the technology to visit us would therefore be the more advanced/powerful and therefore able to take what ever resource they please if they desired.
And to think that we are the only life forms is naive. Even if the number of less than 1% is used to calculate - they do exist somewhere. Maybe though we are the more advanced - who knows.
