Well at least this group seems cogniscent of the potential problems unlike some of the true-believer groups.

Real evolutionary progress probably would not come from these interventions, though specific small improvements may be possible, but their only tweaking a couple of genes that have relatively simple effects. Real evolution requires large numnbers of variants and a large number of individuals all competing for success.

On the other hand evolution is probably at a standstill at least in the developed world, so this may be the closest we have to it.
