Okay, once again we have the idea that *I* hate, and which I am going to
keep on objecting to, to wit, what you "want" to happen doesn't have the
vaguest influence on that kind of large-scale pre-human reality. If the
Reality is large enough, then you're going to get every possible
configuration of 10^80 atoms in 10^11 lightyears at least once. And
y'know, I think the Reality is that large.
