Elitism Implementation - criteria for carryover

[computron]

The elitism implementation seems a little strange to me. It looks like it's comparing the best in the current generation with the best in the previous generation, the 2nd best in the current generation with the 2nd best in the previous generation, etc. one-by-one. Thus it seems possible that the top candidate from the previous generation is not carried over (not better than the best in the current generation) but the second best candidate from the previous is carried over (better than the 2nd best in the current generation). But, I might also be reading the code incorrectly.
