The reason I'm continuing is because I think we should refine our responses to theistic arguments and our objections to their arguments, if we care about showing people why we think they're wrong and where/why their reasoning went astray.

I don't think we can prove anyone wrong as the fine-tuning is just a hypothesis. From a scientific POV, the question is, does it predict anything that can be used as evidence for its validity? So far, nothing. So it remains in the realm of all possibilities.
