Yes, but of course what we are looking for is the primer on advanced (and FTL) 
telecommunications that the Advanced Lifeform Intake and Education Nurturing 
Society is broadcasting via radiowaves for pickup by primitive civilizations.  (Of

There are two ways of constructing a software design: one way is
to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies,
and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no
obvious deficiencies.                               - C. A. R. Hoare
