In a healthy society the only percentage that's ever "good enough" is 100, even though it's unacheivable we shouldn't accept defeat.

Sorry, I can't continue this discussion in the face of this statement. I didn't read the rest of what you said. If you can say that, I, personally, can't give credence to anything else you say. Waste of time. Bye.

So you're for a society that's willing to settle for 2nd rate.

Just came over from a thread about the death of the American car business, why am I not surprised by this attitude. It's exactly the same mentality.

Any healthy entity (person, company or nation) will always strive for perfection. Once you're willing to accept otherwise you've already lost.
