Hi Cloister, you appear to be arguing some form of the Anthropic Principle. See [science.howstuffworks.com]. This is probably the truest principle that people make it a point of honor NOT to believe in.

Do not expect Susan to take a positive view on this principle. Not going to happen. You will just have to agree to disagree. Hope this helps.
