Evolution as a word is sometimes used to just mean simply the development of something though, and I think broadening out a discussion is a good thing. Just looking at things purely from an evolutionary biological perspective seems a bit limiting. And if you are questioning that as being the only way things develop you are bound to bring in other points from other areas.
