The bit about diseases killing the aliens(not having seen this version yet, I could be wrong) , came from the book and was repeated in every version since. Blame H.G. Wells for that, not this movie.
btw: I highly recomend the Radio version by Orson Wells
I'm well aware of that. The reason it bothers me in this one is that it's been suggested that they were here before. In the book and others, this is their first time to earth. In this, the machines are planted underground millennia ago. I blame Spielberg on that, since that was his idea. Evolution advancing the disease or no, (the weakest reason someone trying to explain it suggested.)wouldn't they have noticed SOMETHING.
