I think there's a further difference - with some GAs (including GP, widely used by Sentient) the structure of the solution is "designed" alongside the parameterisation of that structure.
Most DL work parameter tunes a structure that is hacked by human guesswork.
The two approaches have strengths and weaknesses, and in no way does this make EC in general superior to DL, but perhaps different.

I agree, but I intended that point as part of my final point -- an EA can draw a solution from any search space, including a space of trees, for example, as in GP.
