Post Hoc, ergo propter hoc.

Look up the patent. And look up the logical fallacy.

Look up the patent. And look up the logical fallacy.

I will expostulate further: When you are trying to make an argument that only humans can design, it is unpursuasive to offer as evidence that because humans designed a particular circuit, it is therefore the only candidate to have been designed. I'll go on at greater detail if you still cannot see why this is a post hoc, ergo propter hoc argument.
