Not 4% of 1, but 4% of α.

> Not 4% of 1, but 4% of α.

I know. But which direction? Higher, lower, or both? If it's 4% in both directions that's quite a coincidence.

And since we're talking about percentages of α, I will emphasize that going from .007 to .1 is a change of well over a thousand percent. That example is the exact opposite of the anthropic principle showing that we "could not exist if its value were much different"!

What did I say to deserve the downvotes?

Decrease by 4%, AFAIK.
