An illustration is bees vs. flies. A bee trapped indoors will go for the sun: a great algorithm for a forest/thicket but fatal in a house or car with windows.

An illustration is bees vs. flies. A bee trapped indoors will go for the sun: a great algorithm for a forest/thicket but fatal in a house or car with windows. A fly will randmly try until it succeeds, meaning it is slower at escaping a thicket but will eventually find the open door even if it's opposite from the window.
