The entire field of metaheuristics is in dire need of a shakeup. Many of the newer publications are not actually novel [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5], the metaphors used to describe these methods only disguise their inner workings and similarities and differences to existing approaches and shouldn't justify their publication [6, 7]. The set of benchmarks used to verify the excellent performance of these methods is small and biased [8, 9]. The metaphors don't match the given algorithms [10], the given algorithms don't match the implementation [11] and the results don't match the implementation [12]. It's…
