I meant it more tongue-in-cheek than as a real critique. That being said, such a strong statement should have some backing other than anecdotal evidence I agree with. I'm assuming @eanzenberg said the answer is "1" because our universe clearly exists (from my perspective at least). I'd expect the formula to be similar in nature to the Drake equation [1]. However, I'm neither a mathematician nor a physicist.
