I thought that best practice in stopping genetic algorithms was still heuristically based

The GA is heuristic based, it determines whether any given set of parameters results in success or failure; but there are a huge set of combinations of parameters to the GA algorithm. The 95% is a limit that decides which sets of parameters are worthy of further, exhaustive examination.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
