I mainly speak about my own approach here in recognizing designs .
My main approach in recognizing design is via checking if a certain implementation contains a goal & a blueprint.

Well, i'll tell you how everyone else recognizes design. We recognize design by comparing and contrasting with things we know that are designed.

Well if you're going to be like that, then everything everywhere is designed.
A tree is designed because it's goal is to produce oxygen, the tree must have a blueprint even if it was in gods head alone. It's such a stupid position.
