Me neither. I only brought it up because there's a pervasive cultural myth that evolution leads to optimal solutions. It doesn't. It takes what is there and coaxes it to extract resources more efficiently. Therefore, there is a case to be made that bottom up with strong regulation (top down) may be advantageous. That is, when presented with a choice between two extremes, it's often the middle way that should carry the day.I'm not too concerned about the limited degrees of freedom.
