And here I was waiting to get unplugged, or maybe finding a Nokia phone that received a call.

None of what you’ve said ameliorates the faulty logic I highlighted. You have instead just added more assumptions.

    The logic is not faulty, it is predicated upon conditional statements. It is actually a synthesis of Bostrom’s trilemma, Zuse/Fredkin digital ontology, Dyson/Fermi cosmological reasoning, and extrapolation from current computational capabilities.

    The "holes" are epistemic, not logical.

    Okay, if you prefer to frame the flaws in your reasoning like that, then I’m happy to do so. That doesn’t make the conclusion less flawed. The conversation isn’t about the hows and whyfores of formal logic, it’s about whether the conclusion is likely to be true.
