I think this is a documentation casualty of minor changes made to  
ECJ's fitness model.  I *believe* the proper answer should be 0  
(worst) to infinity (better than the best).  But as SPEA2 uses a  
tournament selection mechanism, your fitness values can *probably* be  
anything >= 0 so long as x>y if x is better than y in that objective.
