I suspect you read this as "most (well-meaning) potential changes" while The_Lion means it as "most (random) potential changes".
Most random changes to highly organized structures would, indeed, be awful.
All the changes that people make are "well-meaning", even those being made by ISIS. A word that better makes the distinction is "intentional".
Not necessarily. I know that if I get really angry, I sometimes make (generally small) decisions out of a desire to hurt whatever I am angry at. I don't think that counts as "well-meaning".
Depends on your definition of "well" and that line of approach would lead us into the usual definitional morass :-/
And, technically speaking, there is also compulsive behaviour.
