All it means is you can say "if life is rare, it's not because these specific small chemicals can't be produced". Which is a rather weak thing to say. It doesn't imply life isn't rare, or that further advancement the existence of these small building blocks is easy or inevitable.

"Good"? Ok, if it makes you feel better. But scientifically, it doesn't do much.
Whats your problem with this topic? Highly confronting posts about nothing. Iterative approach to science seems foreign here.
