Very interesting, somehow when I read Behe I interpreted him to imply
that the designer incrementally added/modified the genetic material, one
change per generation, and then when there was sufficient to function
the designer activated all pieces. Thus I viewed Behe still as a
gradualist.

I think that viewing Behe as holding a saltationist position is much
better. Live and Learn sigh.
