It's real hard to estimate just how far ahead they are, in terms of years. It could be that behind as we are, we're progressing at a faster rate than they did. Further, their progress might've stopped if e.g. they're satisfied with what they have. It wasn't uncommon in our own history for a culture to be practically at a standstill for some time, not because it couldn't progress further but just saw no need.

Bottom line they are not afraid of us ; they just don't care to talk.
