Im not sure if I can agree with that (not that I ever thought much about ETs). But maybe I just missunderstand you.
Do I understand you right, that if we were to find a planet with very similiar conditions, the "intelligent" ETs would have to look similiar to us?
While on a planet with different conditions (one where we would say nowadays couldnt allow life, for example), ETs could be literally anything?
