Suppose somebody came up with a new theory of cosmological constants, that claimed that only certain values are allowable, and that a large percentage of the allowable sets would make life possible. Then you wouldn’t have to use the anthropic principle. Wouldn’t you be more comfortable with that?
Another way of putting your question, is “how much would you expect a discovery of a new theory that expands the allowable values of cosmological constants?”—fair? It’s less trap-like, for better or worse :)
