That's not clear to me. Aaron has specific reasons why he thinks the buds are not evidence of evolution. It may well be that additional evidence and/or discussion confirms or refutes his reasoning.
I say it is clear because a creationist will see the specificity in the design of form and function, while the evolutionists will see that the bones have analog counterparts in terrestial mammals that will hint at common descent.
Which is a pretty worthless assertion unless you also present the mechanism and model that allows the so called designer to interfere or influence "the design of form and function".
Does the designer use tiny little tweezers or just magic? Does the designer hold its tongue in a certain way or stand on one foot?

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
