God could have made improvements to the constants, if he was tuning it for life. The argument generally ignores this because, ofc, there would be no argumnt if they acknowledged it. So they posit what would happen if, for example..the cosmological constant was higher....rather than lower. Not only do we know that there is a range that we are within, however seemingly infinitesimal to people who don't understand how decimal points work...we also know that it could have been ever so slightly lower and lead to a more amenable universe for the same reason that it being too much higher would have gone the other way.
While subtely assuming their conclusion, they ignore counterfactuals that -must- be true if their claim is true. If the range is small, and tiny alterations lead to vast discrepences...the order of magnitude of their gods fuckup in leaving the constant where it's at while being simultaneously said to have "tuned" them.... is too much for them to consider.
