Yeah, Dan, I don't think that telepathy is a thing that can exist, sorry.

#1 panel, I think Dan vomited into his mouth from pure nerves.

To a species without a sense of hearing, humans often communicate telepathically.

I appreciate Dan being able to be hilariously wrong. One thing that always annoyed me about the X Files was how Mulder ever being wrong is basically an informed attribute that we hardly ever see on screen.

technically telepathy could exist, but only between members of the species that have the same broadcasting and receiving organs

Well, he's not bright, but at least he can prove not all humans are trigger-happy assholes. Which is important since a group of humans that ARE trigger happy assholes just shot down a ship belonging to a technologically advanced civilization.

We have reasons to be trigger happy with our defense systems though.

Ok. That kid is officially a moron in my book. I don’t care how smart (or right) he may actually be, he’s jumping to conclusions about extraterrestrial races.

In fairness, if I'd spent my whole life being told I was wrong and crazy for believing a set of things, and then I found ironclad proof of the core of that set of beliefs, I'd probably start assuming that more peripheral ideas might be true.

Probably true, but a smart person wouldn’t. Hell, an average person with common sense probably wouldn’t, although they might wonder.

As a semi-related sidenote, I think that a similar thing is why Tesla went a bit nuts before he died. He spent so much of his life being told he was wrong about things that when he started actually being wrong about things there was no way for him to tell.

Interesting thought, that.

Good news: aliens can use telepathy. Bad news: they only want to talk about K-pop bands you've never heard of.

TRIVIA
The Alliance space stretches for an impressive 16 thousand light years along the longest axis and contains approximately 12 billion star systems. Despite that, 99.99% of those star systems haven't been explored even by an automatic mapping drone yet, and the borders of the Alliance space are defined mostly by the reach of spaceships from the nearest colony or space station, and in general are purely informative.
