So we're not looking for all possible forms of ETI, just those that we can
contact given our and their level and form of development.  This is rather
obvious if not outright tautological.  What else could we POSSIBLY do? Try
to communicate with life forms we can't contact?

Investigation of globally invisible, planet-bound life forms will
necessarily have to wait until we have the ability to visit.  That's a long
way off, and people interested in that sort of thing should get into
dolphin research (which will probably come in handy once time comes).
