Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of design is not being attributed to something that is poorly understood or unknown (black box), but rather to something that is clearly visible and intelligible (open box). It implies that the presence of design is being inferred based on the evidence of complexity, purpose, and organization observed in the open box. Rather than assuming design simply to explain the unknown, it is used to explain the known and observable aspects of a system or object.
