HN does not allow downvoting replies to one's comment, so someone else must be downvoting you. Your tone is aggressive and you display a poor grasp of the topic which is probably why you're being downvoted.

1) This is an abstract of a PhD thesis which makes no mention of particle swarms, I couldn't find the full text. This is your evidence?

2) No this isn't about looking for the global maximum. Several people have explained to you that this is a sampling algorithm, but you still fail to show understanding of the difference.

3) Your story doesn't demonstrate your point and you do not understand the argument I presented to you. The types of algorithms suited for an army of people with calculators 100 years ago isn't fundamentally different from the type of algorithm suited for computers today, and if anything, it's likely to be more sequential, not less.
