I cannot construct a coherent argument for intelligent design, depending on what you mean by "coherent". I could construct an argument which is grammatically correct and uses lies, but I don't think you meant to count that as "coherent".
It's a heuristic, not an automatic rule. Excluding religion and aesthetics, I can't think of any cases where it doesn't work. There are probably some which I just haven't thought of, but there certainly aren't very many.
I mentioned homeopathy above.
You don't have a small natural intuition in your brain saying that homeopathy makes sense? I do, although of course I ignore it.
I don't think that's the same thing as being able to construct a coherent argument.
