I'm not certain- I too chose the spreadsheet life, but am a space nerd. Someone correct me where I'm wrong! I think it has to do with the number of black holes

I think it has to do with the number of black holes that would be required, the rate that black holes evaporate naturally(?), and our current best theories of the history and mechanisms of the universe. Like maybe in a universe where all these black holes form, we wouldn't expect to see [something we definitely do see]. So you need to adjust more variables to make that fit the puzzle, but now more things we do see don't make sense.
It's a bit like a big Sudoku, but with way more constraints!
