The deductive argument IC -> couldn't have evolved is just as mistaken when
Hoyle presents it as when Behe does, EVEN IF the conclusion is true. IC of
suitably complex system does imply that the simplest path is unavailable
(for the reasons presented in the quote above), but (certainly in principle,
anyway) there are indefinitely many more circuitous evolutionary paths still
available, even given IC of the end result.
(To put this another way: evolutionary IC -> instead of 100-at-once, or 100
neutral or dysfunctional steps, there are 100+n steps, where n is probably
some fairly large number. Instead of building up from zero, it builds at
least in part laterally or down from other complex precursors.)
