I have removed the boilerplate criticism section that appeared in the lede of this article (and in many others), which appears in more or less the same form at List of metaphor-based metaheuristics. Since I have made similar removals or replacements on other pages, if anyone has an issue with this one, it's best to start an omnibus discussion at Talk:List of metaphor-based metaheuristics. —Psychonaut (talk) 19:18, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
