As Prof. Bassett pointed out in the beginning of the semester, I suspect a fair amount of us are, at heart, unwavering perfectionists who find a way to worry about minute contingencies. That's fine when you're not having to justify your time, but having had to balance the 10th of an hour billing for my work with the infinite number of rabbit holes it would lead me down, I'm comfortable saying this:
- Sometimes good is good enough, but:
- Sometimes good is more than enough.
- It's better not to underestimate the other side, but:
- You're probably overestimating them, and they're probably overestimating you, and:
- Just because you can think it up, doesn't mean its likely to happen.
Just food for thought.
Note: Edited because I dropped a "t" in Prof. Bassett's name (see? Perfection is an illusion)
No problem. It is common. After all, the dog breed is spelled with one "t." And you corrected it, which is more than many lawyers do with typos in their briefs.
