If aliens are indeed to be found, this will readily become number one important event in human history.

I bet!, And if a meteorite strikes my home and kills me, that will be the most important event in my life. Nevertheless, I've got more pressing issues than to debate the statistical likelihood of the size of the rock or it's expected mineral composition.

Yes, and those more pressing issues are among spending time debating why it's not worthwhile to spend time debating a topic that is less pressing than the debate about the time it takes, apparently.
