Yeah, exactly. Bottom-up allows humans to see what is possible. But bottom-up also allows some humans to be top-down towards others :)
I'm not too concerned about the limited degrees of freedom. We're human and we have our limitations, no point worrying about that. In programming terms, I just want us to avoid regressions. It's wasteful of human lives to spend time changing states to one that we already knew long ago had problems. Avoiding repeating history and all that.
- As opposed to the morons who read Ribbon Farm? Kidding, obviously :)
Oh, I was totally serious. I wasn't sure how much to assume regarding familiarity with genetic algorithms and so on. At least the people I know at hubski wouldn't need too much belaboring of those properties.
(BTW, do we have some way to do nested quotes? Has that come up?)
