Even looking at the mousetrap analogy, several critics have described ways in which the parts of the mousetrap could have independent uses or could develop in stages, demonstrating that it is not irreducibly complex.

It skips over the case that many, if not all, parts are already available in their own right, at the time that the need for a mousetrap arises.

John H. McDonald even showed his example of a mousetrap to be reducible.

No engineer could design a flat-screen TV, an interplanetary spacecraft, or even a better mousetrap without first understanding the basic laws of physics.

Removal of any one piece destroys the function of the mousetrap.
