[The simulation did punish unneeded and useless functions by having these useless functions consume limited resources.]

Another bald faced lie from you. It says no such thing in the article above and that is why you cannot give a quote which says that. It is a completely a figment of your imagination. A totally made up statement with no basis in fact. Since it was completely concocted out of thin air, it is legitimate to call it a lie and not an error.

Ahem:

The program, called Avida, is an artificial petri dish in which organisms not only reproduce, but also perform mathematical calculations to obtain rewards. Their reward is more computer time that they can use for making copies of themselves.
That's from "the article above", you bile-spewing Troll.

Don't you get tired of being wrong all the time? Don't you get tired of calling people liars when in fact it is you yourself who is most guilty?

Which in no way refers to the statement made by me above. Id did not punish useless functions, it allowed them to hang around without punishment. This is strongly implied by the quote given from the article:

Some mutations that cause damage in the short term ultimately become a positive force in the genetic pedigree of a complex organism.-article-

So yes, you lied, and now you are mistating the issue to try to get away from the lie you purposely concocted.
