Take the shortcut. Build the product. And if later, it turns out you made a design mistake, refactor the code. But at least you will have a product that your users love.

This doesn't seem to be working with me. When you re-factor a part of your code, you are probably doing it for optimization. When your architecture is broken and you are going dark, I don't think you can still re-factor your whole code base and keep your customers happy. (Deadlines, bugs, downtimes, costs...).
