No, the argument is that the traditional (weak) evidence for anthropic shadow is instead evidence of anthropic angel. QI is an example of anthropic angel, not anthropic shadow.
So for example, a statistically implausible number of LHC failures would be evidence for some sort of QI and also other related anthropic angel hypotheses, and they don’t need to be exclusive.
Past LHC failures are just civilization-level QI. (BTW, there are real things like this related to the history of earth atmosphere, in which CO2 content was anti-correlated with Sun’s luminosity which result in stable temperatures). But it is not clear to me, what are other anthropic effects, which are not QI – what do you mean here? Can you provide one more example?
A universe with classical mechanics, except that when you die the universe gets resampled, would be anthropic angelic.
Beings who save you are also anthropic angelic. For example, the fact that you don’t die while driving is because the engineers explicitly tried to minimize your chance of death. You can make inferences based on this. For example, even if you have never crashed, you can reason that during a crash you will endure less damage than other parts of the car, because the engineers wanted to save you more than they wanted to save the parts of the car.
