    This sounds like bad science to me. Our current exoplanet detection methods are heavily skewed towards detecting larger planets, depending on factors like the size of the parent star as well. So the planets we know of at the moment are most likely not at all representative of every planet that exists out there. Seems like a terrible moment to draw these kind of conclusions.
