Personally I think this is less intelligent design and more evolutionary. It's an important distinction because scenario one is a stack of evil old men cackling away, scenario two is just people doing their jobs. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" has a corollary I think "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by evolution"
