(I would be extremely interested in a good argument as to why we can infer design but not discuss the designer.)

It's the Watchmaker Mystery. A group of professors stand around a table, looking at a watch on it, trying to understand how it got there. But none are allowed to say there might have been a Watchmaker.

Watches don't mate & replicate.

Bogus analogy. A watch is not an organism that has the capacity of self-replication. And as I look at my watch, I can see quite clearly (with my cheaters) that is came from the Rolex factory in Switzerland.
