You needed to raise observer selection effects: the laws of physics and conditions on Earth are pretty favorable compared to alternatives for the development of intelligence. And of course intelligent observers would be most common in regions of the multiverse with such conditions, and the Fermi Paradox, at least, tells us that Earth is unusually favorable to the development of intelligent life among planets in our galaxy.
Had that been explained and terms made clear, then I think the disagreement could have been made clear, but without it you were just talking at cross-purposes.
In this article Wright makes it fairly clear that this is just a typical anthropic design argument, invoking design rather than observer selection effects.
