Well they definitely can be applied there—though perhaps its a stage further than analogy and direct application of theory? Then of course data can agree/disagree.
gradient descent is not evolution and does not behave like evolution. it may still have problems one can imagine evolution having, but you can’t assume facts about evolution generalize—it’s in fact quite different.
analogies based on evolution should be applied at the evolutionary scale: between competing organizations.
