Any sequence of changes 'repeated an undefined number of times'
will comes back into rounds so you might as well say:
'why we don't simply call a series of changes ... a method'?
Does it matter where it comes back into rounds - the first time
or the nth time?

I don't like the idea of false methods, but perhaps the proponents
would consider them like aerodynamically unstable aircraft;
probably an incompetent design crashing as soon as you take
your hands off the controls, but perhaps with the aid of computer
control offering more agility and higher performance.
