Problem
Maximizing entropy does not lead to the most diverse starting point.
By searching only the nearest neighbors the linear relaxation need not lead to the farthest point.
The issues is that some directions are maxima and the gradient is 0.
Solution
Ensure no dimension is a local maximum when starting the linearly relaxed optimization.
