I think what I really wanted to communicate is that you can not always assume 'it works' is good enough.

If it doesn't work, then it is broken, which is the opposite of perfect. Thus, it is not good enough, since it must not be broken. Making the call that something is broken is tough though, and still subjective. But sometimes it has to be made.
