Perfect is the enemy of good

So that would be my thought process that it's why did I do that? And asking myself, reflecting on that so I can learn for future patients.

Yeah, I think especially what you say, perfection is the enemy of God.

It's something that it might be coming back to our head quite frequently from now on, really.

No, thank you.

You know, uh, uh, you, you, you, you touch upon a very important issue.

Uh, the enemy of good is better.

[laughs]

You try to achieve perfection.

There's no such thing as perfection.

Uh, you got to realize that if you look good, be happy about it, uh, because perfection doesn't exist.

And, uh, sometimes, like I said, the enemy of good is better.

You try to go for that, and you get a complication and things go downhill.

Better.

Yeah, me too.

How do you describe this? Yeah.

Dominance is the perfection of the hegemon.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien.

That was Voltaire in Dictionnaire Philosophique.

That's his term at least.
