The design of complex systems requires an effective methodology of invention. This paper considers the methodology of the Wright brothers in inventing the powered airplane and suggests how successes in the design of genetic algorithms have come at the hands of a Wright-brothers-like approach. Recent reliable subquadratic results in solving hard problems with nontraditional GAs and predictions of the limits of simple GAs are presented as two accomplishments achieved in this manner.
