I do not know, you are perfectly correct; it is a statistical assumption
on my part, based on the 9+ planets in this star system, a few scattered
here and there with nearby stars that have been observed, and the
extrapolation that if there are many stars in the Magellanic Clouds, then
at least a few of them SHOULD, statistically speaking, have a planet
orbiting them.

The use of tune in puzzles me. Does objective reality vary based on the
perception of the subject? Or is objective reality manipulating the
observer through their subjective observation process? Feel free to
explain, please, since both sides of this question have already been
defended here, and you might be able to contribute a new perspective.

Regarding this list, would it constitute incest? (VBG!)
