As for the rest of it, I do agree with you, we can't posit any range of values for the prevalence of life elsewhere, we have nowhere near enough data.
By the way, I was commenting on Bert's thoughts mainly

That's Ok, Geoff. Thanks for you comment. Much appreciated.
The next time I see something which implies that life
must be out there because of the scale of the universe (eg: the numbers of exo-planet candidates, or numbers of confirmed exo-planets in the 'Habitable Zone'), I'll personally be thinking .. 'this doesn't tell me anything!' .. but what I know for sure, is that the possibility of exo-life on those planets is still unpredicatable with mathematical certainty! .. Hilarious, eh ?)
Cheers
