    Design is *everywhere*! All specified complexity is design! All functional
    complexity is design! All irreducible complexity is design! No need to
    search for naturalistic explanations. Stop all that silly thinking and
    observing and testing hypotheses! The answer is always design! It's those
    damn designing *witches*!
