There are only so many ways for things to be related to each other, no matter how hard you hammer away at them, and none of those potential relationships do much for the irreducible complexity of the flagellum.

Of what use is a hypodermic if you have nothing to use it on?

The sequence of events appears to be

1. Things weren't
2. Things were.
3. Things were not self-propelled.
4. Things were self-propelled.
5. Things lived in things.
6. Things injected things.

I think that sums up the TTSS story.
