I think that is a neat answer Doddy. The only reason there is a concentration of lymphatic tissue in the appendix, from which creationists infer it to be important to the immune system, is that it is important to the immune system as a likely area of infection.
This is just one more example of the creationist canard that for a feature to be vestigial it must have absolutely no functionality.
