By the way, the original paper can be found at

Given the megascale engineering, I think it might be popular here.

I am honestly uncertain what is going on in the Fermi question. I think 
I am more willing than most to believe in a zoo/they're heeere 
hypothesis, given the paper. But I suspect the truth is very odd - even 
if it is "boring" lack of intelligence the reason for this is likely to 
be odd.
