A sense of Good Enough is one of the tools you need in your shop.
I'll tell you, the gods will spot you 90%. Then, if you like, you may
work
it up a little, you'll maybe get 96%, if you're real good, 98%. Be
satisfied. That last 2% is Heaven's prerogative. If it's granted,
offer
prayers and praises, but on no account try to force your way up there.
Points will ALWAYS be deducted for Hubris.

I hold the keys to the sea of possibilities.
