I am not so sure that ID *has* to be the 'question.' I do think it might answer a lot of things that "might" be but I think that there is problem with FORM ( this occurred in philosophy with WIttgenstein and liguistics with Chomsky) that has a pure biological component being covered over by Darwinians today, having to do with odd shaped creatures.
I know Carl well enough to suggest that his writings only butress standard technical science writing despite his good grasp of the science itself. He would not see the biology that I do.
I think we might be seeing parasitism in a wrong fleshy way. This is hard to explain. The following two pictures from

indicate that any series of Zimmer's presentation

interpretation of the root
5 years ago I came to a halt in reading that work because I could not find any way to continue to work through the ratios he presented MATHEMATICALLY (1/2,2/3,3/8...) but with these images of not dogs nor snakes I see some hope to continue my reading of plant life.
I think learning to read books the way I see nature is a better indication than the simple history that creationists had not considered God creating unfit creatures.
