Were the system-view correct -- or what is basically the same : could one attribute at all to a system-only the organismic performances -- then one should wonder about the omnipresent laboriousness and complexity of something which in system-fashion could have been realized in a much simpler way. One should also wonder how this complexity could at all be realized according to principles of optimum, and -- when it has originated in some way -- one should wonder whether it not be constantly reduced and simplified by natural selection. One would then have to attribute to Nature a playful inclination to complexify things, promoted by selection. Both is contra-empirical. At best the system-only would match with the complete creation of whole organisms. [i.e. the creation of each organismic species individually.]
