The reasons humans prefer reasons on Earth to resources on asteroids is because the (a) humans already live on Earth and (b) humans find it inconvenient to live elsewhere. Neither condition would be expected to apply to extrasolar species colonizing this solar system. timtyler’s claim is therefore difficult to sustain.
My point is that the claim is irrelevant, because there can’t be any biological aliens. We of course can discuss the fine points of theories about the origin of the blue tentacle, but it’s not a reasonable activity.
