Too much choice

Given that, at the time the question was asked, I think about 800 of the group's 833 HV's had already been uparmored, he was probably referring to the anthropic principle.*

(If the laws of the Universe were not conducive to the development of intelligent creatures to ask about the initial conditions of the Universe, intelligent life would never have evolved to ask the question in the first place. If the vehicles lacked armor to the extent people made it sound, the soldier would have already been dead, along with lots of other soldiers in that group, and could never have asked the question.)

((Yes, I'm reaching in the analogy, but I've wanted to refer to the anthropic principle for weeks, and I can just barely shoehorn this in here.))
