Both sides can agree on that much. It's the corollary to the general rule on which we are divided.
To wit: The IDer takes this as an assertion of the failings of the Darwinian paradigm: an admission of ignorance! The smell of blood in the water!
The corollary for ID is that our ignorance is total and irremediable. A call for the non-explanation that is IDCreationism. Goddidit.
The corollary for the evolutionist is that there is more to learn. Having identified the TTSS as a possible precursor is all that need be done to put the supposed example of an IC system to bed. Because the IC argument demands that there be no such identifiable possible precursor. It's the logic of this argument that leads to Behe's goalpost shifting around the whole issue of the flagellum.
