That breakdown using 1% is rather arbitrary. One percent really isn't that small of a number especially on a galactic scale. If someone gave you a glass a water with only 1% of radioactive material in it you wouldn't drink it. If 1% of the people in your community were to all pass away today the odds are you would know one of them. Now the galaxy is large enough that even using a much smaller increment in the breakdowns will still net a large result of systems capable of supporting intelligent life. The galaxy is also large and vast enough that the odds are still small that any of those advanced life forms having visited Earth or at least visited the Earth at a time where humans were around.
yawn.
