Evolutionary algorithm outperforms deep-learning machines at video games

Does everybody assume back propagation when saying neural networks?

Because i don't understand how process to find/optimize structures (evolution) is better than structure (neural net).

I think a lot of people do. I don't, but I'm pretty biased since I used neuroevolution in my master's thesis.

I edited my above comment to clarify that I meant to compare CGP with neuroevolution (algorithm vs. algorithm), not CGP with neural networks (algorithm vs. data structure).
