"Tick, tock" is used to describe the looping sound that a conventional, mechanical clock makes. Simply saying "tick, tock" is used to suggest that "time is passing, and something should happen, preferrably soon", or even "time is running out, and you are yet to do something, so hurry up". Concretely, I am impatiently waiting for answers to my questions.

Wait! I gather that "" (the empty string, aka. nothing or neither) is the answer to all 4 questions. That is:
- What has so far been gained through the use of GA? -- Nothing.
- Of these, which ones could not have been achieved otherwise, such as with a different tool? -- Neither.
- Also of these, which ones are significant, and why? -- Neither.
- What warrants the continued application of GA? -- Nothing.
Do I gather correctly?
