YOU SAID: “I am presuming that technological advances continue to increase over time and that we are not at or near the peak of what can be accomplished technologically.”
Occasionally it is published that a bill was introduced around the turn of the century that everthing that was signifiant had already been invented..... That was in the 1890’s or so when the car was just beginning to replace the horse drawn carriage.

Such a thing might never occur to an alien and the absence of viruses wouldn’t necessarily hold them back in any significant way... Until they had the misfortune of meeting Jeff Goldblum. :-)

A great disguise. “Oh, look at the cute little doggie...” BOOM! :)
