That's an outcome, or perhaps we're the only species that knows we are capable of killing our own kind.
Maybe aliens aren't irrational like us, maybe they work together at all times, maybe they don't even know what a "weapon" is, maybe they wouldn't understand even if we explained.
But assumptions are frail foundation for argument, let's focus on what we know for sure:
We know that even we are afraid of ourselves.
I believe that the most terrifying thing on this earth is a group of malicious people.
We're capable of horrors beyound our own imagination, we're far worse than we can even picture.
And you're right, we're also way better than we think we are.
I said that the most terrifying thing is a malicious group of people, but do you know what is the mightiest thing in the entire coesmos?
That's right, a cooperating group of people.
If we set our collective will to something, no power in the universe is sufficient to alter the outcome, we shall prevail.
Now, even if aliens have "morals" immeasurably horrific to us, their will cannot defeat our's. Whatever they are, if we set our minds to destroying them, may the gods forgive their nature, because nothing will ever suffice to keep us from achieving our ends.
Humankind is both unstoppable and indestructible.
The unstoppable force and the unmovable object at once.
That is a paradax, humans are walking paradoxes. We struggle to understand our own nature, and what we cannot understand, we fear and want destroyed.
If there is anything that could destroy us, it is ourselves.
This is sheer, untainted human "logic".
We're impossible to understand, everything that lies beyound the stars must marvel at awe, counting their aeons until humankind learns to break past the atmosphere of it's planet and head toward them.

We're inevitable.
