Hi Nelson,
Can you account for the history of a supposedly IC system? That is, do you
know that it was constructed as-is? I have seen the example of the global
economy. If we look at it as-is, it is more or less IC - remove, say, the
European market, and the whole world suffers. But we know the history of the
global economy - we KNOW it has been built up step by step and is NOW
essentially IC. However, we could logically (sic) assume it to be IC if we
ignore its history.
It seems to me that without being able to document the history of a
supposedly IC structure/pathway, declaring it IC and thus designed is a
proclamation of ignorance.
