Now this is just getting ridiculous...

I feel the comparison is horribly lacking, anyone who would think of evolution as organisms getting "bigger, stronger, faster" etc clearly does not understand some of the most basic concepts of evolution.

Yes, talent points are customization, but it is not random, and by picking a bad spec we are not removed from the gene pool.. in fact, there is no passing on of our "talent point DNA" to another character, where is evolution then?

An analogy is just that, it might compare two things to get a point across but is severely limited beyond that original point.

... and I fail to see the original point.
