What interests me about Loeb's work is not the specifics of his case for the artificial origin of the 'Oumuamua object. (See "Avi Loeb: 'Nature Does Not Produce Such Things.'") I don't know enough observational astronomy and physics to have a decent opinion about that.

"Risky" is the appropriate adjective here, because while design inferences are commonplace throughout science, where ...
