That sounds much like the "just asking questions" excuse. As a writer you should know the power of words and how the nuances of their meaning affect the message. Dismissing the meaning of your words with the excuse of just "throwing words around" is dangerous and frankly shameful for any writer who isn't a hack.
Edit: maybe I got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. You're good, but that did not resonate well with me.
I’m still sticking with ‘definitely’.
Regardless of whether I meant it as a doorway into conversation – and that wasn’t an excuse, but a threshold to conversation – if you’re going to pin me on it, I’ll say yes, I think the odds are nearly 100% life exists not just elsewhere, but everywhere.
I personally think that’s the inevitable conclusion of 3-dimensional space. That’s just my personal opinion, though.
Call me a hack if you like.
