I think that Steve might not understand the importance of morphogenic regulation when it comes to making all those other things he thinks are required for an eye, or eyespot, or light spot, or photoreceptive cell to be beneficial. Morphogens are the things that control the shape of an organism. Asking how morphogens could attach a flagella to an eyespot, for example..is ludicrous..that's -exactly- what they do. Morphogens are what;s responsible for flagella in the first place, and morphogenic regulation is one of the most archaic functions of the compounds associated with light sensitive cells and apparatus. Not only do we know that they performed this function in the ancient past, they continue to perform this function today.
