<p>Hey,</p>

<p>Thanks for the answer. Sorry --- apparently I had not made myself clear enough. I was trying to ask the <code>overallObjective != overallObjective</code> comparison, actually. Do you say putting this comparison is good because when the objective function is <code>inf</code> (or, is it really <code>nan</code>?), it will not be equal to itself?</p>

<p>Thanks for your time</p>
