19. Such an argument should be used with caution as such species may be prepared in the future. Indeed, with this in mind, it is worth noting that the "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" a quote attributed to Prof. Carl Sagan (and more recently used by U.S. Secretary of State Donald H. Rumsfeld with respect to "weapons of mass destruction" in an attempt to justify the invasion of Iraq in 2003).
