Perfection is never achieved, just neared... in any project.

Anytime somebody tells you that this, or that, or the other is spot on... it does not mean it is perfect.


It only means it is the best set of compromises between cost, market selling price range, craftsmanship and materials quality, and their availability obviously, processing capabilites, tax costs, and market perception possible at that moment in time, and the hope said set of compromises do not change parameters too much for the foreseable time to recuperate investment in production line, initial production stock of materials, investment in design, engineering, marketing effort and the associated taxes to all this.

In other words it is not that perfection does not exist at all, it is just not feasible if you want to stay afloat economically as a business, or as a person, and obviously whatever you might deem perfect today will not be anymore perfect in the future.

Because somewhere, somebody, sometime, will come up with a better idea and your perfection becomes obsolete all of a sudden.

Or maybe not, nobody comes up with a better and more perfect version of what you are doing, it is just that the marekt perception about their needs and wants goes towards another field leaving the entire industry of your filed, your business included, out in the dessert hang upside down to dry in the sun untill it becomes fosilised history.


Happens all the time, large and mighty corporatons went bust in a season for such reasons, to name a few would be Kodak, Nokia, but also small and extremelly promising startups like DeLorean for example,that thou is now extremelly famous due to a movie (Back to the future), is still dead as dead it might be anyway.
