The reverse is true. Selective breeding is "Hoping" the genes you want to become dominant do. GMO is knowing which ones will.
Selective breeding is to a saw removing a limb as GMOs are to a surgical scalpel removing gangrene. The latter technique allows you to be much more specific and to have more of an idea of what's going on.
