I think Tom Peters ("In Search of Excellence"?) said something to the
effect that it is a great waste of time and manpower to continue to
"tweek" and refine things that already work, when there are so many
other important things that *don't* work.

To paraphrase, "If it ain't broke, find something else to fix."
