The so called "Fine Tuning" argument makes a fundamental "map v. territory" conceptual error. The models of reality developed by physicists are fined tuned to get the math to produce results that match measurements in reality, but that does not show that the reality is fine tuned. It is like saying that a river is very precisely positioned on the landscape because of how difficult it was to draw the line on our map of the territory. The models of physicists are only valid as they match reality, so speculating what would happen if they did not match reality removes any validity. If someone makes a claim of "Fine Tuning" ask: "Got evidence?"
