There is a large literature on GAs: the wikipedia article probably has
references into it. Probably that's a good place to start if you want
to decide whether or not they are useful.

You couldn't possibly discern such a stench within your own ambient
atmosphere.

Not bullshit at all. It's very useful when:
1. You don't know how to solve a problem
2. An approximate value is good enough.
3. You're willing to waste quite a couple of CPU cycles.
4. You know what kind of result you want / expect.

what you coded, in the most slippery way possible many times.
