I think "perfection" is understood to be a limit or non-unique. But where we are with tooling today, industry wide, is so completely abysmal that I don't think the behavior of shooting for absolute perfection or something in reach is that different.

Words like yours implies we are "good enough" and anything better is "too costly", and I don't think that is remotely true.

Glad to be wrong, then.
