  • Rarely.   To mass produce something while keeping it affordable certain tolerances need to be loosened and certain materials need to be chosen for manufacturing practicality over durability.  Fit and finish needs to be balanced with man hours.  Yadda, yadda, yadda.   All that is enough alone to mean perfection has to be sacrificed to some extent due to the laws of diminishing returns.   Then factor in the fact that most consumer grade products are made with planned obsolescence or planned calculated failure.   The answer is a resounding NO.

    In manufacturing, there is a concept called "lot tolerance percent defective"---it's a way of defining perfection.  How much deviance (imperfection) can be tolerated before your product is no longer fit for its intended use.  The more "perfect" it needs to be, the more it will cost to make it so.

    So to some extent, it depends on what your "product" is.

  • That's my favorite Rolling Stones track.


    That may be but they gave out plenty of Benzadrine to housewives to counteract the Vallium.   Lucky Grandma.

I wanna be drunk , high , and get to wear dresses all day and not have to go to work... I d hate that most likely if true ...but ... Sounds better than work on Monday right now :) so I'm going with that

  • Who says you can't  wear a dress all day? You can still be high and drunk most of the day.

    I wish I could still just drive some stakes in the ground and start farming and pull my double barrel on anyone trying to come 'round here but don't belong.

    You shouldn't do that. His whole sense of self is dependent upon telling people when to use hyphens and apostrophes. Don't take that away from him, it is all he has in life.

    basically no
    because it will break or wear out. haha
    ...But there is a reason for that,
    and the person looking for
    something Perfect can find it.

    We would like to think the prototype from which all others are derived is closest to perfection, but that flies in the face of advancement beyond. This does not work well in the mortal fallible model of events but when infallible God made Adam he was the prototype for all others to come. Any tampering would be a degradation from the divine making and thus inferior. This post was edited by O-uknow at April 22, 2017 9:22 PM MDT
