Who decided that? Oh wait, let me guess, intelligent design proponents?

Negative....the people who created the species claimed they designed these features. Mycoplasm Laboratorium has features that can best be explained by intelligent agents. This is a fact and the only one who disputes it is you.

There is actual evidence that it did evolve. IT has no evidence, it simply says: 'I don't understand how something like that could evolve, therefore it didn't'

By evidence, you mean a pathway by which it could have evolved. There is no evidence(to my knowledge) that pathway was actually realized instead of the feature being intelligently designed. I think the flagellum did evolve but I can't prove it.

Yea....whatever you say bud.

Its not what I say. The theory itself simply makes no reference about the kind of intelligence behind the features.
