Which "faulty" reasoning step are you talking about?
You said that there is an alternative to ad hoc in optimal approximation.
My request is that you show that the optimal approximation isn't going to
just be determined in an ad hoc fashion.
Your absurd strawman example of *using* a bad solution instead of a good one
doesn't address Matt's point of how you *arrive at* a solution at all.
Are you sure that you know the meaning of the term "ad hoc"?

Or, in other words, you are declining to prove that Matt is incorrect in
saying that we have no choice -- You're just simply repeating your
insistence that your now-unsupported point is valid.
This is tedious. I didn't try to prove that the conclusion is wrong, I
pointed to a faulty reasoning step by showing that in general that
reasoning step is wrong. If you need to find the best solution to
x*3=7, but you can only use integers, the perfect solution is
impossible, but it doesn't mean that we are justified in using x=3
that looks good enough, as x=2 is the best solution given limitations.
