That's just an assertion. Maybe they appear designed the way a person genuinely getting chopped in half appears to be chopped in half. Why do we have to assume biological systems are counter-intuitive?
Because MOST things in science are counter-intuitive. Until Galileo dropped a cannon ball and a bullet from the same height, it was perfectly intuitive that a heavy cannon ball would fall faster than a light bullet. The fact that they fall at the same rate (negating air resistance) is counter-intuitive. That's how science works.
