That is that it is only in a universe that encourages enough complexity to allow the development of conscious life that the question of complexity can be discussed. Thus if there are other possible universes, it is of no great improbability that we should be in one which allows complexity as we couldn't be in one that doesn't.
All you are doing here is positing the existence of a multiverse to explain the apparent fine tuning.
I consider the possibility of a multiverse and the possibility of purposeful fine tuning. I lean toward one more than the other because in my experience realities cannot come into existence unless there is the involvement of an intellect.

Is it? It appears wholly fallacious from here.
Do you think causality is also a fallacy of composition?
