I took great care to not limit options to "research should be
discarded"; my proposal instead was this:
If after 10,000 years of concerted OoL research (say), all known
natural explanations and pathways have been deemed implausible (say),
would you:
1. Keep looking for natural causes only, or
2. Give up looking, or
3. Keep looking for natural causes, but consider supernatural agency
4. Give up looking for natural causes, but consider supernatural agency
Which would you choose?
I'd conclude the postulates are wrong; the beetles will not be
interested in how they've survived; it's clearly a superior design, as
ordained by the Great Beetle in The Sky.
