yes that is what i meant.

I mean the first design is obviously based on a clear plan (intelligent
design)....but then the modifications might be on top of that original design,
perhaps  as you discover the engine, for example, plays poorly in the endgame or
tends to move pawns in front of its king too often (in the evolutionary
metaphor, these would be adaptations).

It just seemed to me that there would be some limitations in how much you could
take an original program.. programs like crafty and rebel just ran out of steam,
though they started out in front of everybody. I wonder if the author of rybka
or fruit could take crafty and modify it so that it would be the top engine? Or,
from a modern programing perspective, is crafty just too flawed to modify into
the top program
