Agreed. It's not like humans can produce the same output given the same input for anything more than trivial inputs.
I'd argue that it's actually a benefit; I like that I can do several generations and compare them and pick the best result. HP, for example, used to do this with software teams, and that's how we got Rocky Mountain BASIC (AIUI the competing team was East Coast BASIC).
