Not to mention that Behe completely ignores the possibility of cooption or subtractive processes.

At the U. of Minn, Behe was asked about bacterium Yersinia, with a Type III secretion system and flagellum; Behe stated that the bacterial flagellum is still irreducibly complex in the sense that the subset (TTSS) does not function as a flagellum.

Huh? If there is a functional subset (I don't think he's claiming that Type III secretion systems don't exist) then it's "reducible".

Behe is a professional misspeaker.

Behe is a professional misspeaker.

Multipart systems that are tightly integrated and functional have within them subsystems serving different functions. It is conflating to suggest that the presence of such a subsystem controverts IC. And it is at best especially disingenuous to describe it as professional misspeaking.
