   Like the origin of life, it's not about who was first.  It is about   
   who survived.

   Of course, what you say it means is willfully stupid, as usual:   
   ***********************************   
   a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that   
   when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true.   
      
   a statement or proposition that, despite sound (or apparently sound)   
   reasoning from acceptable premises, leads to a conclusion that seems   
   senseless, logically unacceptable, or self-contradictory.   
      
   a situation, person, or thing that combines contradictory features or   
   qualities.   
   **********************************   
      
   Whatever you want to call it, the Fermi Paradox exists.  It doesn't go   
   away just because you don't like what people call it.
