And besides that, the information content of a design is not related to the number of unique structures the design describes. By analogy, the output of `print i for i in [0...100000]` contains 100000 unique lines, but the information content is bounded by the program that generated it. Oddly enough, Kurzweil actually misquoted Allen there, and his refutation does apply quite well to Allen's original statement, which was that each neural structure has been individually refined by evolution. Evolution does, in fact, operate solely on the genome (plus or minus some epigenetic factors here and there), and it really is impossible for it to tune that many structures individually. So maybe Kurzweil just phrased that point poorly.
