Universe “roughly tuned” for computing? Instead of fine-tuned for life?

So claims Zoltan Galantai arxiv physics :

This short paper proposes an alternative theory to Anthropic Principle. According to our interpretation, the Universe is not “fine-tuned” for life, but “roughly-tuned” for computation and its biofilness is only a phenomenon. This standpoint allows us to extend Seth Lloyd’s concept about the ultimate physical limits of computing to examine the computing capabilities of any imaginable universe. In addition, I draw up a universe classification based on it. (.pdf only)

Actually, it really doesn’t matter what the argument is, or whether or not it makes sense, as long as it is against fine-tuning for life. Opposite arguments can get along fine with each other, as long as they oppose that.

To understand why, see: Copernicus, you are not going to believe who is using your name. Or how.
