I disagree, but that's because changing one's self is an individual experience and mine has not been this kind of circular event.

So, as with everything, everyone's mileage will vary :-)

after you've implemented the solution, it's only going to bite you in the ass 3% of the time. i think i'd declare that "fixed."

in a finite world, perfectionism is a vice. ;>

even when you're a grand master of a martial art, you still sometimes lose your balance. it's just that you recover so fast that no one else ever notices.

Or, as Jascha Heifetz once remarked to someone who expressed amazement that he always played perfectly in tune, "I don't have perfect intonation. I just fix it very fast."

But, according to G.I.Joe, Knowing is Half the Battle. Ergo, you end up with a curve approaching 150% of one battle.

Yeah, but... lordandrei February 16 2007, 21:15:35 UTC

G.I. Joe was a cartoon about soldiers at war who never got injured.

I never believed anything on that show. :)
