So you were being sarcastic? In either case, I don't think it's fair to fault people for not being up-to-date on cases where science has recently corrected long-held common knowledge like the appendix being useless. OP is basically making the "argument from bad design," of which there is plenty in nature. They should be up to date before debating a topic. I would argue that a vestigal organ isn’t a sign of a bad design. It’s a sign of how versatile and/or consistent organic matter can be. Sure, it's probably a good idea to at least look it up before posting about it, but it's not a big deal unless they pull an Arlon and keep insisting they're right and disregarding the science. It's not just vestigial organs, though. There are all kinds of "bad design" that doesn't make sense except via bi-products of evolution.
