Now, why does stuff like that work? That's the question. Now, yeah, what do we mean by baufiuetl? That's one thing. I'll try to make that clear — partially clear.

Somewhere in some other planet, ortiinbg some very dnaitst star, maybe in a another galaxy, there could well be entities that are at least as intelligent as we are, and are interested in science. It's not impossible; I think there probably are lots.
