To: Huck
Tell you what Huck, you begin compiling a list of things in this world you discover are not perfect and I'll begin compiling a list of things that are. I think you'll find your work cut out for you. What's more, you will likely have to pass your task along to your progeny or other surrogate to complete, etc, etc... Which they will be unable to finish either. Fact is, the task may become larger as time goes by. Once the list is complete then "fixes" can proceed lest we get bogged down with "fixes" during the compilation process. A fool's errand? You apparently don't seem to think so.

We live in an imperfect world chock full of imperfect people. We live in a world where the pursuit of excellence is about the best we can hope for, where "good enough" is the most likely and most frequent outcome. You want perfection? Knock yourself out but in the meantime I'll sit on my butt knowing full well my list will contain exactly ZERO items. And I hopefully will have actually accomplished something constructive while you tilt at windmills.

Straw man argument of the lamest kind. You suggest it’s foolish to improve on something because perfection is not an option? Then why have an amendment process? For decoration? Come back when you have an opinion worth reading.
