"Because your test doesn't prove ID wrong. It would only demonstrate that an alternative method was at work, but there is not requirement that if ID is true no other process could be as well. They aren't exclusionary. Later evolution could have been "designed" in.

Your statement is self-contradictory and silly. If it can be proven that a set of characteristics which work together gradually evolved then ID is refuted, period. Evolution cannot "design" anything, it is a mindless force, it has no intelligence, no memory, no brain. Whatever it does, however it does it, cannot be called design.

No, it's called "logic". Who said anything about evolution having intelligence? Read what I said. Unless ID and Evolution are exclusionary, meaning if one is true the other cannot be, then proof of one does not disprove the other. They are not exclusionary. So your suggested falsification is not a falsification.

Perfect example of evolutionist arrogance, nothing can be said except what they say. I talked about intelligence. I said that the evolutionists give selection the qualities of intelligence, memory and thinking. No natural "force" can have those qualities, yet nothing without those qualities can design anything. So you and your fellow evolutionists may not be saying the above because it is totally absurd, but you are certainly trying to imply it. Selection cannot create anything. Selection is a purely destructive force. It can only cull what already exists, it cannot create anything new. Evolutionists have never been able to prove therefore how anything new has arisen that would justify their claim that selection achieved the turning of a miserable amoeba into a human being.
