I don't think increasing entropy can be considered an optimization process. It's not moving towards a narrow goal set. It's moving towards a wide one. What's more, the low entropy results are not disproportionately unlikely a result. The increase in entropy will not make a glass of water any less likely to spontaneously freeze than to exist in any other configuration. You're basically saying that you're 99.9999% sure that the outcome will be in a class that contains 99.9999% of all states. You know nothing.
