 where “OSE” stands for “observation selection effect”. Sober himself spells out OSE as “We exist, and if we exist, the constants must be right” (2003: 44). According to this interpretation, \(\eqref{ose}\) is patently false: our existence as living organisms entails that the constants are right for life, which means that the terms on both sides of \(\eqref{ose}\) are trivially \(1\) and hence equal, so \(\eqref{ose}\) does not hold on Sober’s analysis.
