though, should we not always strive toward perfection? What is the best possible solution for an existing problem? But don't we need to understand the problem before we can weigh alternatives and suggest an optimum solution?

Years ago, when I bought my first computer, I believe it was an Apple with 16 or 32K memory. Storage was on a cassette tape recorder. I played a simple program. It was called Lunar Lander (I believe). The object was to set a capsule down on the moon without crashing it. The task could only be accomplished if you applied reverse thrust moderately and evenly. In real life a good compromise may be anything but perfect, but it may represent an optimum solution for most.

My purpose for my original post was to point to a problem which I perceived.
