I was meaning the sample size of 2 planets in 1 solar system. What's to say that there are a lot of solar systems out there are similar to ours? It could be that your solar system has to be calibrated just right (1 in 1B or whatnot) to support planets with life.

Or it could be that there are quite a few interstellar species out there and they don't visit backwoods planets. Or that there is some scourge out there that if you expand your footprint enough and make them aware of you, you'll get wiped out. I get that those are also possibilities.
