Anthropic reasoning is two-legged
The form of weak anthropic reasoning used here is not tautological since, as well as noting that low entropy is necessary for life and therefore observers can only see low entropy, it offers several mechanisms or processes that could give rise to the (extremely improbable) low entropy state.
