My concern anyway is not that the path matches a doorway but that some contributors couldn't envisage the need for longer cabling in a domestic situation nevermind the more complex human anatomy structure.
And if there is absolutely no evidence for any need for longer cabling, then what? Wouldn't it be bad design?
Why would someone design the recurrent laryngeal nerve the way it has been designed. There need be no further rationale than because one can.
So no matter what the design looks like you will claim that it was intelligently designed? Do you think that Rube Goldberg mechanisms should be put in engineering textbooks and not in the comics?
