If a highly developed intelligent life recognizes that we exist, and is
able to monitor our airways, then what more would it have to gain by
making its presence known to us?  --i.e. What do we have to offer, that
it would not already be aware of?

Wouldn't it be much smarter to sit back and watch us develop a little
longer to see in which directions we move.

For any technology we may have developed that it had not, it would be
able to view at its own discretion.  For I am sure it would have better
viewing (both audio and optical).  Indeed, it would have seen how we
developed that technology.
