I'm not sure on when to define a type as the algorithm.
1 ? 3 = .33 Is the type now part of the algorithm? > > OTOH, some would argue that Walter is still right by saying that if you don't > know what is happening, then you've got a bad algorithm. Yes, all algorithms created by genetic programming are bad ;) And your brain is one big bad algorithm as well of course.. > However you cut it, these cases are by far the minority. But growing.
