When we conclusively detect alien signals, we’ll find ourselves searching through history for all the alien signals we found in the past and scientists dismissed as nonsense.

Yes, that is how science and history works. You recontextualize things as new information is found. For example the different types of atom models each atomic model was improved as we learned.
You mean IF. it is very unlikely that there are star hopping civilizations.
We have zero proof of anything and we have been staring at the stars for a long time.
Isn’t that what happened with Exo Planets? We found one and realized that the data matched a BUNCH of other stars and we almost instantly found a LOT of stars that have planets around then.
