I would like to contest the mathematics under the Energy Generation heading. They rely on the baseless assumptions that (1) humans are the only intelligent lifeforms that presently exist in the universe, or else that (2) only humans can make contracts with Incubators and become magical girls/witches. If we consult the Drake equation, the energy requirement can be reduced by at least a factor of 2.31 - likely more if we eliminate the factors fc and adjust L to correspond to the entire time span of the species' sentience, as having a technically advanced civilization capable of interstellar communication does not seem a prerequisite for the Incubators to do their work. -24.130.114.96
