We don't need to identify the designer in order to in fer one.
How do you figure that?
You come upon two piles of my coins. One pile I simply scattered to the ground. The other pile is an exact duplicate of the first, each painstakingly put by hand into place.
How do you tell the difference? Remember, one of these piles has purpose, and the other does not. One of these piles is designed, and the other is not. According to your logic you should be able to tell the difference.
I say you can't, because design isn't a property of things. Design and purpose are only in the heads of designers, not objects.
I say, you
can't infer a designer from an object because there's no way to detect design.
