Short answer: No. You should always be wary of trying to apply evolutionary models to achieve specific real-world goals. Given the past history here, I'll go out on a limb and say that it's always a mistake. Even if it was the right choice, these sorts of things have a dizzying array of unintuitive results and even the academics involved are still working out a lot of the implications.
