Sorry I can't answer your actual question here as I am 'evidentially challenged' in this area ...but do allow me to mis-quote you for a second to make an observation. Maybe in going public, the ID-ers are taking a leaf out of Darwins book. It worked pretty well for him!! Think about it as a tactic. If ID-ers were to bypass the scientific community and go straight to public, they might happen to awaken the interest of a media who are interested in conflict and eager to make natural history programmes that would sell (as opposed to ones which were true). If indoctrination works (as I suggest it has) then what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
OOT, but I'd love to see you talk more about this. How about starting one at Intelligent Design?
Btw, by your proposal you have undermined the effort of major ID proponents who worked so hard to portray ID as genuine science. You reduced it into... propaganda.
