If there is life outside of our solar system forget about them. They don't need us bringing our bullshit to them.
In the best case, the detection is at the 2.4 sigma confidence level (less than the usual 3 for reasonable confidence and will below the 5 required for strong confidence), and if previously suspected issues with the instrument are true, the detection could disappear completely.
I do not have a strong confidence in this result. (But at least they didn't publish it in Nature, in which case you would absolutely know it's wrong...)
I'll just wait for the PBS Space Time video to tell me it's not aliens.
With the dude's seductive voice that resonates eternally through the very fabric of our... spacetime.
