Accidentally sent to haskell@haskell.org instead of the cafe:

...

Diversity is generated by mutations.

This is hardly a revelation.

It was, looong ago.

My point was that you need two competing components in relative balance to grow something meaningful.

And I'd think the Haskell community could take the part of 'Selektionsdruck' (don't know the correct english term). But you have a good point below, might be too slow for our short lives :(

Cancer growth is based solely on mutation!

Also I was not theological.

Didn't think you seriously were, but you introduced the acronym, was too tempting.

It is the advice to multiply Prelude and use time to verify them rather cosmic in scale. It implies the assumption that the world will freeze and wait for the verdict.
