A scientific hypothesis is a guess about future data points. ID is not even a guess. It doesn't have even the outline of a research plan. It doesn't offer anything in addition to the research that is already being done.

I think it is a guess, and I think it qualifies as an hypothesis, however unsatisfying, tentative, vague, or unspecific you might find it. Whether it can be refined to produce satisfactory grist for the scientific mill remains largely unprobed.

It doesn't have even the outline of a research plan. It doesn't offer anything in addition to the research that is already being done.

I agree with this assessment.
