I would add that in even this case a designer would have had the option of producing completely unrelated "designs" or those that embodied a radically new design element to implement one or more of these functions. With the diversity of life it has to be considered surprising that we do not see more variation in these areas - if common design were true.
Common design is less constrained than common descent and for that reason even if the intent were to compare the two hypotheses the evidence discussed would still favour common descent.
