The "narrow range" isn't exactly all that narrow in any case. It sounds good though, and I suppose that might have something to do with why it's repeated by both sides so often.
Our habitable zone (and again only addressing -our kind- of life), for example, is between 0.725 to 3.0 au's. (an AU being equal to 149,597,870,700 meters or 92,955,807.273 miles) - and this is based on our sun (a rather pathetic little star), other HZ's may be larger or smaller. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to make that particular drive. Florida is narrow, the HZ is not.
If anyone has another favorite "narrow" this or that we can work out the effects of any change and see just how "narrow" the range is....
(for reference, approximately 11,739 earths could be laid side to side in a single au of our solar system's HZ...........)
All of this ignores strange little enclaves and abnormalities that exist beyond our HZ that are capable of producing effects very much like our HZ. At what point can we stop calling this one narrow?
