Evolution also deals with discrete units. Either the molecule replicates or it doesn’t. Granted, physical evolutions is more massively parallel, but the search space is smaller in biology, but the analogy should hold as long as the search space is large enough to hide the discreteness. And if 10000s of developers try 100s of small alternatives, some few of them might hit the transformer.
