I completely agree with you! The same should be said for genetic algorithms. I don't understand the obsession around here with both ANN and GA. They are interesting tools, but they are not some holy grail with unlimited applications.

Both of them are inefficient and rarely the right tool for the job. GA and ANN are used for situations where you don't care about how you got to the solution and what it took to get there, as long as you get close to it in the end.
