Even if you can reliably ascertain whether a change is positive or negative you may be still in difficulty. It is possible that changing from "A" to "B" is an improvement, changing from "B" to "C" is an improvement, and that changing from "C" back to "A" is also improvement. Should this happen you would be stuck in a loop.
This possibility may seem illogical, but it comes from comparing multidimensional preferences. A simple example is the game of Rock, Scissors, and Paper.
