What happens if we replace "capable of anthropic reasoning" to "have considered the anthropic doomsday argument"? As far as I can tell, it becomes a tautology.

I'm not sure, but it seems that your tautology-way of putting it is simply more accurate, at the cost that using it requires more accurate a priori knowledge.
