 * if it finds a candidate exceeding winnerInfo, it will repeat. Otherwise, it will stop the 
 * current stage of hill climbing. 
 * Each iteration of hill climbing proceeds in 2 'phases'. Phase 1 climbs according to 
 * the resultScore function, which is effectively a linear increase in reward until it reaches
 * the constraint-satisfying value, it which point any excess results in only logarithmic reward.
 * This aims to find some constraint-satisfying point.
 * Phase 2 optimizes in accordance with what the original function sets out to maximize, with
