I don't disagree, but in this instance the chaos needs to be removed as
much as possible because the bots and the computer simulation have to
match as exactly as possible - if the simulation has to ray-trace
reflections off complex surfaces several thousand times for one "run",
the evolver program is going to take years to generate anything useful.
Furthermore, the more detail that is needed for the simulation, the
further off the mark the results are likely to be.
