IMHO the Fermi paradox dries up when you ask "who would be dumb enough to broadcast their presence to ANYTHING that might be listening?" The universe could be full of risk-adverse ETIs and we'd never know.
I used to think that ordinary human radio chatter, TV signals, etc. would be detectable to alien civilizations, like in "Contact." I have since read this is not the case.
