Overlapping genes, or "nested coding," was anticipated by microbiologist Siegfried Scherer, as Meyer points out. Why? Because human coders layer codes on top of codes, for various reasons including improved storage. Therefore a designing agent, operating behind the veil of biology, would likely do so as well. And so it is.
That is a successful prediction, alongside another Meyer discusses: that the "junk DNA" thesis, championed by Darwinists, would turn out to be largely mythical. It also, in itself, poses a knotty problem for unguided evolution. Says Meyer, "This would be very difficult to explain by random mutation and natural selection because if you randomly mutate one message you are going to invariably destroy the other one if it's layered on top." Intelligent action, with the benefit of foresight, could solve the problem. But an unintelligent process could not.
This struck me from the article,

Mechanical designers are able to look at design features and functions, that is what they do, they make their living from designing the most efficient way to construct an object, any object.
DNA is just a design feature, it does not indicate life expectancy, disease function or anything else in a human organism, it is just a template, epigenetic changes, environment, socio economic changes, psycho emotional health and diet have a much greater impact on our bodies...MO
They look at a design and are able to determine there design function and how to make it more efficient, what works what can be rejected as non functional.
Is it any wonder in recent years, that the most innovative ideas of who we are and what we are as a biological species are coming from the minds of engineers and not those steeped in the Darwinian theory of evolution.
My thought.
