The topic is about how scientific theories move toward better explanations. ID brings in an unknown "designer" which science can never explain. It is not a better explanation, it is a stone-wall barrier to explanation.
Therefore, ID is not an improvement to ToE, it's an impediment. Turning science into pseudoscience is not an "improvement".
The topic is about trying to explain to you (and others) why scientific theories change and why those changes are a good thing. It is not about any change - e.g. a step backward like ID - being a good thing.
