The fact that it’s retargetable and evolved rather than designed seems to suggest elegance. I can imagine evolution producing a moderately complex narrow adaptation, or a simple one that as a side effect of its simplicity happens to generalize, but I don’t see how evolution could produce a complex generalizing adaptation.
