Believe it or not, you got a point. Flaws in design directly prove design, because without them we wouldn't know what the "right" design is supposed to look like. It's because there are flaws in software that programmers figure out there is better possible software, and manage to improve it/update it or create a superior version altogether.
It's precisely because there are, for example, birth defects or congenital deformities, that the human body is a designed machine. Think about it, if all the combined brainpower of these biologists and medical researchers couldn't adjust the microscopic-scale genetic deformities responsible for most incurable diseases, then clearly the absence of these genetic deformities in healthy individuals indicates a superbly skilled designer, who crafted a world with such a configuration that permits gradual self-improvement through natural selection. In a world without birth defects and disease, medicine wouldn't exist, we probably wouldn't have discovered cells or DNA and, more importantly, no one would have mentioned the word fine tuning or design.
