If $Y$ at that point is (statistically and practically) significantly better than our current operating point, and that point is deemed acceptable, we update the system parameters to this better value. And we can keep repeating this approach, relying on intuition and luck.

CI theory was developed around 1937 by Jerzy Neyman, a mathematician and one of the principal architects of modern statistics.
