hello! and thank you for your work.. it is excellent!

I have a question related to an experiment that I am trying to reproduce. I would like to test NEAT with and without crossover as per the original 2002 NEAT paper.

If I set the survival_threshold in the configuration file to 0 would that be the same as disabling cross-over ?

Thank you for your help!
