I never heard of what the bleep do we know. But the main point Fermi was making was why have we found no sign yet of them. Even if they came and left, we would have found some sign. But he also calculated, being Fermi, roughly how long it would take them to do so if they wanted to. I think the figure was like 50 million years? I forget, but it was insignificant compared to the total age of the galaxy.
