My favorite stunning insight by Berlinski is this:
The astonishing and irreducible complexity of various cellular structures has not yet successfully been described, let alone explained.
So, if IC hasn't even "successfully been described, let alone explained", then why is everyone so impressed with Behe's book??? He didn't successfully describe what it is he claims is the problem!

Or, as Vade has pointed out elsewhere, the mystery of IC is so mysterious, the IC advocates can't even successfully describe the mystery itself. Now that's mysterious!

If this is any example of Berlinski's work, he'd have trouble describing a mousetrap.

You missed the point; biochemistry, since the evidence shown in modern microscopes, show no "primitive" processes.
Chance cannot produce a single cell, let alone the human brain.
