I’d like to counter with “perfect is the enemy of good”. Knowing when to half-ass something can be a skill in of itself.

I think your second sentence needed a verb. This would be a case where half-assing it did not.

Wrong tense. Chalking it up on English being my third language :)

I don't read this as a counter as the skill you mention is in full alignment with the grandfathers advice.
