They're twenty years away from working fusion, like they've been for the last few decades.

“You have very informative points. I’m going to stop talking to you for now.” Keep your eye on whatever keeps surprising you. Returning to the report should be a secondary priority.

The one real surprise he's gotten here pertains directly to the report he read, and the fact that it doesn't match the data Quantum is citing. Zane is keeping his eye on the thing that's surprising him.

So Gharr either jumped the gun or he falsified some of the information on us.

Oh boy, he's in a lot of trouble when (or if) he gets back.

More likely that someone in analytics made a royal screwup or someone give analytics the wrong dataset...

Yeah, my first thought was that they just had insufficient data on the order that technologies are discovered. If it's complete, the species listing only included five species, of which one doesn't provide data due to secretiveness about their technology and developmental history, and another which doesn't provide data due to not having as much developmental data due to lower tech level.
As a side note, it strikes me as hypocritical to complain about secretiveness when the alliance doesn't have a uniform tech level.

TRIVIA
The names of every species of the Alliance (besides Insectoids) are words taken directly from their respective native languages that they use to refer to themselves. They all have the same translation:
"a human".
