Of course, Gould had been saying that since 1978. So I'm not real sure why ID can even make the claim. |
And on what basis - because 'it doesn't make sense' - sounds like a nice sciency hypothesis.
Human designers include junk in designs, either by blind copying of errors or depreciated functional elements, or to deliberately obfuscate attempts to back engineer - so if you want to draw analogies from known designers then you have to conclude that sometimes including junk in a design makes sense.
