"Wow," says a puddle in a ditch. "This ditch is shaped exactly like me. If it weren't for the ditch's precise shape, I couldn't have formed here. I'm really lucky." The puddle, of course, has never seen a puddle in a different ditch and never realised that puddles come in many shapes.

How clever. The point is this puddle has seen many other ditches, and we've learned that the particulars of our solar system are interesting, if not uncommon.

Spare me the condescension with the storybook reply
