Is there a counter-weighing bit of evidence every time we don't find evidence of life at all, and every time (if ever) we find evidence of non-extinct life?

According to Hanson's article, non-extinct life that didn't reach sentience counts as failing the Great Filter, and no life at all also counts as failing at a very early stage. I believe my point still stands.
