and that no one has ever said “hey it looks like we should have seen a lot more impacts on Earth than we’ve apparently gotten”
Wouldn’t this be a (weak, since humans have lots of reasons) piece of evidence that people see the same pattern of collision sizes on earth as on e.g. the moon?
Yes, and that’s the point: that suggests that there’s little anthropic bias at work here. A heavy anthropic bias would be if we didn’t see the same collision patterns.
