You, on the other hand, observe a phenomenon, and then explain it by giving it an objective function as a theory… although the phenomenon isn’t efficient in giving the optimal outcome.
The phenomenon isn’t always “efficient” at dissipating entropy—because of constraints imposed by physical law. Also, in general, optimisation processes are not guaranteed to find the “optimal outcome”—due to local maxima. I am not making the idea of entropy maximisation up—there’s a big literature about it dating back to 1922. Check my references.
