Define "irreducible complexity."

Try this one:

If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.

The title of the posted article contradicts your posted definition.

Your murder scene analogy breaks down as well. Since at this point irreducible complexity still has no meaning, according to the posted article.
