All other species that don't know the actual distributions should expect that all other species are larger than themselves.
If we base our search for alien intelligence on this assumption but it turns out that intelligent life is not possible on smaller stars because the habbitable distance also means the planet is tidally locked and some other filters, we're wasting our time.

It's great for SCI-FI though.
