I was trying to show if a middleman - a 'committee' if you will - was capable of 'creating' what we see around us.

Extrapolate that concept (which we can understand) to a mass of un-connected, non-communicating, random mutations and then the sheer unlikelyhood of Nature being as we see it, is evident.

or

Hopeful Monsters?

Oh, I don't know. Ever take a close look at a tasmanian devil, or an aardwolf, or a platypus, or a slender seamoth or ghostpipefish or frogfish? Looks like committee work to me.
