[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Better is the enemy of good. “The relentless pursuit of perfection” is a way of ensuring nothing ever gets done. Sir Watson-Watt, the director of the British Chain Home radar network preached the cult of third best. The Best system never gets built, the second best takes too long and costs too much. Hence, the cult. The Chain Home radar chain might have been third best, but it was finished on time and got the job done.

I am quite familiar with the concept. MS seems to carry it to the logical conclusion.

A master electrician once asked me what some may regard as a nonsense question: "what should you do to get a job done?"

I replied; "just enough to get the job done correctly. If too little is done the need is not met. If too much is done effort and money are wasted".

Perfect is not the enemy of good; it is the the enemy of adequate.
