	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.
