No I didn't, I never mentioned daughter universes. Here the argument is rather that you have a huge ensemble of universes with varying properties (they aren't necessarily daughter universes) with parameters distributed according to certain rules. If you then apply a "complexity filter" as a I kind of loose anthropic principle, you can do statistics with the set of universes that pass this filter, and see which properties are more likely than others.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
