How is it a no, if we do judge it to be good, as you agree?

Because we judge it so post-facto. There isn’t any possible other judgement. So it’s a meaningless one.

It’s good since we judge it to be good. There is no good or bad aside from our judgment.

I really find it a pretty trivial matter, but the point I’m trying to make is it’s just the anthropic principle. It’s like saying that my blood is suffused with sufficient oxygen right now is good. It’s an entirely different category of ‘good’ than me actually doing something useful with that, to the extent that I wouldn’t call it good, just necessary.
