This is also something that really bothers me, and I’m honestly surprised to see obviously intelligent and thoughtful people like Joe Schmid constantly say it when it just seems obviously and demonstrably false. Spoiler alert: This is what the third part of my fine-tuning series is going to be about!
This is why my least favorite thing for someone to say in an FTA discussion in response to a thoughtful objection is “well, as long as it’s more likely than 1 in [crazy huge number].”
Like, that could absolutely be right of course, but it strikes me as a bit thought-terminating in most cases where it’s used.
