I know that's what you meant, but it still seems to be a wrong-way- 
round argument. Even if those constants were different, whatever the  
universe described was like (assuming there was at least some form of  
matter and some form of chemistry) might be able to form life on one  
tiny speck amongst all its vast space, and that life might say "isn't  
it amazing, this universe seems perfect for life". To take Douglas  
Adams' puddle a step further, it's like a shower of rain in the  
middle of the Sahara and a tiny puddle formed in a hollow of rock  
saying that it seems to fit the hole perfectly, even as the rest of  
the desert is parched and the puddle itself is evaporating in the  
sirocco.
