in a sense we are testing, by zero simes, the evolution of evolution itself,  the first primitive way of evolving is
point mutation, perhaps after that it has 2 choices, witch both will be used eventually, natural selection(asexual reprodution), or viral infection, HEY THT RYMED, after that sexual reproduction. and after that who knows what will happen of cours in db there is no other way but its cool that evolution evolves as well as its effects

You are testing the program as much as the biology of evolution. DB lives in it's own little world that is, unfortunately, removed from reality. It's a great way of testing the programs parameters; the one thing I think it has made apparent, perhaps in a way that is relevant to RL, is the way evolution tests all the boundaries and finds both the many ways it can do something and any loopholes it can exploit!
