It's always impressive how perfect our solar system is.
Our range from the sun, our own moon, our magnetosphere, Jupiter...
Well if it wasn't perfect we wouldn't be here to observe it not being perfect, so just by our existence we can't observe conditions that are not perfect for us existing... or something like that ๐
"Wow," says a puddle in a ditch. "This ditch is shaped exactly like me. If it weren't for the ditch's precise shape, I couldn't have formed here. I'm really lucky." The puddle, of course, has never seen a puddle in a different ditch and never realised that puddles come in many shapes.
How clever. The point is this puddle has seen many other ditches, and we've learned that the particulars of our solar system are interesting, if not uncommon.
Spare me the condescension with the storybook reply
Don't forget about Pluto protecting us from the cold unknown.
