I don't think it is completely like Douglas Adams' puddle, because as I see it, the universe could easily be set up such that no intelligent life can arise in it anywhere. For me, for the Anthropuddle principle to really work as an argument, there would have to be many universes to choose from. Sure, once we know we exist , the probability is 1 that the universe supports life, but the question remains why the universe is like that.
