That is what I thought and why I was confused by the Niel DeGrasse Tyson statement which I thought was irrelevant to the original answer. Sure non earth originating DNA is interesting but let's not rule out non DNA exotic life.

Good Answer.
Unless it is smaller than us, then we could argue with it.
I'd argue with a little monkey but think twice about arguing with a big Gorilla, (unless it was remotely in an online forum).

I'm glad black holes are so far far away that we can't yet measure their change in gravity as they consume galaxies,
though a little concerned that you show the milky way in your example.
(our great great ... great ... great ...great great grandchildren should definitely have a referendum to leave the milky way before that hole takes over)
Yeah I know you're going to point out the sun will have expired long before that happens.
