The problem with this is that we find examples of simplicity in nature.  Neither complexity nor simplicity point infallibly toward objects that are the product of design.  That's the whole problem.  Nothing specific points unerringly toward things that are designed; regardless of what property you choose as an indicator of design, there will always be exceptions.  That's why the design argument fails, because there is no 'hallmark' of design that points to design and design alone.

Yeah.

The design argument fails, however, because the design is the endgame. None o' that shit is axiomatic. :/
