Hans Spemann's organizer experiments in vertebrates demonstrated equivalent regulative capacity in organisms Roux's framework classified as paradigmatic mosaic systems, collapsing the simple/complex organism distinction the defense relies upon.

Roux's framework(as the scientific theory being challenged)
A theory by biologist Wilhelm Roux about how organisms develop, which categorized them into different types based on how rigid or flexible their development is.
Simple/complex organism distinction(as the biological assumption the argument collapses)
The assumption that some organisms are 'simple' (rigidly organized, like mosaics) while others are 'complex' (flexible and self-organizing).
Vertebrates(the group of animals whose nervous system structure is being compared to cephalopods)
Animals with a backbone, including mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians—basically everything with a spine.
