Sorry, sloppy language - I meant "you, being an observer, are more likely to exist in a universe with many observers".

So then the full anthrocentric SIA would be, "you, being an observer that believes you are human, are more likely to exist in a universe with many observers who believe they are human".

Is that correct? If so, does your proof prove this stronger claim?
