But if the universe had "worked out" differently, you (or your counterpart in that hypothetical other universe) would probably still be pointing out how ridiculously unlikely THAT ARRANGEMENT would be.
This is known as the Anthropic Principle (I recommend that you google it).

Well, if it's a hypothetical universe then can I hypothetically Google it? Or would that be unlikely too?
Speaking of which, in your hypothetical universe would it still be the Anthropic Principle, or do you think they'd get to have one of their own?
