On the other hand, Geoff, if left to the engineers products might
never ship until they are "perfect."
I think David meant to say, "if left to the tech writers...." The engineers I've worked with have always stressed that a large aspect of their job is determining the best tradeoff among quality, cost, deadline, and risk. They like to get it right; but engineers are trained not be perfectionists. They know there is no such thing as an exact measurement and they apply that principle generally. As a community of tech writers, we know, I think, that we have more than our fair share of perfectionists among us.
