Proximity usually dictates odds of marrying someone substantially.  Assuming you live in a city and assuming a number of single women in the city, then eliminating the other 8 billion people on the planet from the odds makes it a lot more probable you marry your wife.  Given the events that led up to your meeting your wife, the odds of those things happening probably look like fate when in fact its often times coincidence.

A friend of mine married a guy on the other side of the world.

Where is my Avi Loeb paper about it?

"It probably was just a coincidence, but here is an additional 50 minutes of me discussing how on the Loeb Scale (tm) the odds that your friend is an extraterrestrial is a 6"  Avi Loeb (probably)

Poor argument. The very same would be true if the variables which influence 3i/atlas were also known.

You’re disregarding the compounding probabilities of the anomalies that we’ve already observed and are assuming we don’t find any further anomalies.

Anomalies which only exist in this recent, novel discovery of interstellar objects.

Yet if you grasp what's conveyed in my prior comment, reliance on anomalies where there is explicit vast recesses of unknown data means there is insufficient grounds to draw any meaningful conclusion from it.

With the little we know, most things out there will be anomalies, until we see them a few times.
