You take yourself too seriously, Captain Ginger, that's what I think... ;-)
I was just being a bit poetic to say that spiders were "designers". It was a metaphor, as Dianavan suggests, not a statement of my literal belief. I have no idea how a garden spider keeps track of the geometric structure of its web while it's building it, but I guess most people would just say it's "instinct". "Instinct" is a great little catchall word that people use to describe any creature's behaviour which they are completely unable to come up with any other explanation for...
It's a way of saying "I don't know", but still sounding like you do know.
