Yes, from this and trying to follow your conversation with @EricMH, I think there is something fishy with this whole ID information theory project to mathematically prove or formulate teleology (or design). It seems to be mixing a mechanistic picture of the world (or at least mechanistic methods) - the things that @Eddie likes to complain about, for example - with Aristotelian goals. This is why it ends up with awkward conclusions or mathematical proofs with questionable applicability to the real world. The two paradigms seem to be fundamentally in tension, so it is hard for them to work together.
