I agree, as you point out, that it can refer to both of these arguments; I have not made a claim to the contrary. What I am against, however, is the deductive argument that intelligent design predicts irreducible complexity. Keep in mind that you are responding to my response to Nudger, who forwarded such an argument: "It [intelligent design] posited an irreducible complexity which does not exist." He therefore concludes that intelligent design has "been falsified."
That is an invalid argument.
