That is hardly a bait and switch. If you cannot or will not answer the question just say so. If the hypothesis is applicable then apply it to citrate plus e.coli.

Unlike an actual object that one is determining if it was the result of an intelligent action, what actual object does I.D. point to other than “biological complexity”?

Well, the ability to digest citrate is biological complexity. Was it caused by the actions of an intelligent agent?

It is a bait and switch -- you're switching the argument from one of finding evidence to support a specific hypothesis, to one of trying to explain the rationale behind such evidence.

"Science," however, claims not to care about rationale for phenomena ... as to do otherwise would suggest that there were something other than naturalistic processes involved.

Sigh. I gave you a specific example of the "object" and you refuse to see it.

You're not even discussing the issue anymore -- your objections seem directed toward avoidance of the actual points I've made. I'm through.
