[However, if the flagellum contains within it a smaller functional set of components like the TTSS, then the flagellum itself cannot be irreducibly complex – by definition. Since we now know that this is indeed the case, it is obviously true that the flagellum is not irreducibly complex.]

Period.

That's not a "word game", that's demonstrating that Behe's "example" of IC doesn't Behe's claim for it.
