To put this example in real life terms:

Suppose an airplane is flying from St. Louis to Hawaii... it needs 354 gallons of fuel to reach the west coast and another 291 gallons of fuel to get from the west coast to Hawaii. How many gallons of fuel must the pilot put in his plane to make sure he gets to Hawaii?

300 + 200 = 500... close enough.

These skulls full of mush are the next doctors, pilots, and accountants. I bet the liberals will scream victim when they are killed or short changed by this “good enough” attitude.

Doctor: “Sorry you are dying, but I thought that medicine was close enough.”

Pilot: “Sorry you paid to go to San Jose, but Phoenix is close enough.”

Accountant: “Sorry you are out of money, but I rounded down a lot because it was easier.”
