Several thoughts come to mind:
- The difference between science fiction and fantasy can be very sharp.
- If wishes were horses then beggars would ride.
- Preaching to the choir is remarkably pointless.
I would also add that genetic algorithms are much too nice to
treat as mysterious magic that can solve any and all problems, but that's
doubtless obvious.
