Purely as an amateur, it seems unelegant to have something that violates causality as a mechanism, but doesn't give you a way to violate cause and effect at a higher level. It's like the universe is conspiring to keep its awesome tricks from you.

If you have self-replicating and mutating code on your computer you should put some sandbox around it, or it might evolve to buy more RAM on ebay. Or, more realistically - will crash the system.
