The Bookies slashing the odds is pretty pointless really. The new planet is far too far away for us to do any research on it within our lifetime, so even if there is life there we won't know about it for a ridiculously long time.

But yer, we'll never know. We don't even know if that star/solar system is still there (it's 20 light years away, so the stuff we're seeing now is 20yrs old... Although in terms of the galaxy that's a pretty short timescale, so I doubt anything drastic has occurred since).
"Sure what are we going to do? I doubt we'll see some chap walking by."
"Yeah, two lads fishing or something."
If this were the case, it would not be us discovering them.
