Where is the peer-reviewed article disproving Behe’s theory?

All that's necessary to disprove Behe is to list a series of possible small steps that can lead to his irreducibly complex structure. It helps the argument if, as is the case, all of the intermediate steps actually exist in currently living organisms.

I gave you and article and link. Don't pretend I didn't.

Would you consider a review by Dembski adequate? Here's what he said about the content of the article.

Even if the trajectories are continuous, it still remains to be shown that they are Darwinian. I'm entirely comfortable with the evolution of the immune system, for instance. In fact, I'm comfortable with full common descent. My argument, always, is that evolutionary pathways to irreducibly complex systems, even if they exist, are non-Darwinian.

So if Dembski is your standard-bearer, he's comfortable with evolution and common descent, as long as the source of variation is not stochastic.
