Self modification requires a much larger computer/brain, and it has many more events to calculate. I think you are confusing "efficient" with "quantity of possible outcomes". The human brain is nowhere fast enough to operate any part of the human body (other than the ears` logarithmic feedback mechanism) with the speed of a hummingbird's wings (and even then, the human ear can't respond that fast). Were you born with the instinct to type? Were you plugged into the Matrix to learn it? Kat
