The creationist argument really doesn't work at all in this case, because intermediate forms are usable and confer a competitive advantage. A 25mm tongue gets fractionally more bugs out of the wood than a 24mm tongue, and needs a slight displacement of the underlying ligaments in order to accommodate the extra length. There is no 'de novo' structure, just a continuous development of an existing one.
