Well, what if you were under feudalism or under the USSR, and decided that the problem with the status quo that you should try to solve was not “we don’t have plentiful enough food” but rather “people need food to live at all”.
One wouldn’t succeed in changing this.
Of course, some conceivable changes to the way things are, are both possible to achieve, and are overall beneficial to make.
Some changes are impossible (or effectively impossible) to make, and some are possible but have costs which outweigh the benefits.
I suppose the question is determining, or estimating, which is which.
(Though, I suppose the question isn’t just “what proportion are you right about as to what category they fall under” but rather, what is the average benefit and cost (and I suppose also the variance and other moments?) of your pursuit of the changes you choose to persue.)
