But would you rather have good enough or Leonardo?

Good enough, because masses will be able to afford it and benefit from it. Bring in Leo and the cost goes from nearly free to extremely expensive. Think bicycle against Ferrari, when all you need is a way to make the 3 mile commute between home and the plant.

This reads like something out of Turgenev. A pair of boots is worth more than the complete works of Shakespeare! Before art, bread!

By contrast, one might ask: Leonardo's procrastinations have more value than the output of how many thousands of sensible, disciplined people?

It's not always about getting from point A to point B. There is always something to be said for the beauty of the journey.
