I'll buy that. However, I expect that more often the life is specialized and unintelligent. Life on Earth can be found at extremes. My guess is that once a planet has it, it becomes hard to shake it entirely. I expect that if Mars ever did have life, pockets of life can be found there today. We could be extinct or astronomically invisible in a relatively short time, meaning that our intelligent imprint was just a blink.
