All we have for evidence that it is anything but a tree is Bluebook\\\'s word, and even he doesn\\\'t know whether it\\\'s true. The \\\"evidence\\\" is flimsy at best and outright lies at worst. At the absolute minimum, you shouldn\\\'t pretend its true nature isn\\\'t currently unknown.
\\\"If we cannot trust what we are presented with, then what can we do?\\\"
Simple. You acknowledge that what we are presented with is untrustworthy and don\\\'t act as if it is trustworthy.
\\\"there is mention of attempting to communicate (which would not be made if it was just a tree)\\\"
People sing to their houseplants and think that they\\\'re communicating with them. It doesn\\\'t mean anything. It also ignores the possibility that the scientists themselves were part of the fabrication, which would also explain why they were so unconcerned with the possibility that an alien race capable of interstellar travel would also be able to bring much more advanced weaponry to bear than humanity could withstand. Even if we are to assume they were all cartoonishly evil, their total lack of survival instinct is suspicious in its own right.
And isn\\\'t it awfully convenient that an assassin would just happen to be waiting for Bluebook, as if he knew he was coming to investigate? At that matter, we don\\\'t even know HOW David learned all of this. You\\\'re putting too much stock in what\\\'s given to you despite your accusations that I am doing that, especially since it\\\'s from someone with even less idea of what\\\'s going on than Chaldea.

By that metric, we should be threatening Independence Day every time we mow our lawns.

Simple. We remove the section entirely until more trustworthy evidence is given. If anything, I was trying to compromise by leaving it in at all.
