Well, this is the universal truth for all creative or problem solving jobs.
Sometimes, like when the chips are down, you have to do a jgid job. But, say yes to everything, do a jgid job all the time, and your short-term relief will sooner or later yield to a reputation as a short-sighted hack. Sometimes, like when there's time and there's a lot riding on it, being a 'profi' will protect the comapny's interests and earn you a reputation for having professional principles. But a guy who always has to turn everything into a 'study' will quickly find himself labelled a slow moving dinosaur unsuitable for tasks requiring quick action. And there's everything in between for the 'Contractors'. Applies to any and all problem-solving or creative jobs - from engineers and programmers, to car mechanics and cooks.
