Fail
e.g.
Zen's question was about 'life', not about "earthly life." Giving evidence that earthly life could only exist in a narrow band is irrelevant to whether the universe is tuned for life in general. So you gave an answer to the wrong question. "Fail."
On top of that, even if you had answered the right question, you'd have been supporting Zen's point that, because so little of the universe is suitable for life, it doesn't appear particularly well tuned to produce life.
Double fail.

He's out.
Another suggestion on the line of "he blew it". Both are more in tune with the tone of "dançou" than "fail", which is less informal - but the meaning is basically the same.
In my suggestion, the reference is with the "Three strikes, you're out" from baseball. However, I strongly agree with the colleague that offered "blew it". Depending on the sentence/wider context, I would probably go with that one. I just wanted to leave another suggestion.

"Steve Bannon had a major SLIP-UP during his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee"
"He realized immediately after that HE HAD SLIPPED UP, because the White House told Bannon not to answer questions related to his work on the presidential transition team or in the White House.

'Failed' is wrong, can't fit it in that sentence at all

Voltando a frase “You snooze, you lose” podemos citar como ditados populares no “Foi ao ar, perdeu o lugar”, “bobeou dançou”, “foi à roça, perdeu a carroça”, entre outras.
