Perfection

Y'know, when you drive to work, or home, or anywhere, you rarely are pointed at your destination. There is a series of approximations, which, when followed, leads you there.

At any given time if you continued on that path, you would not get home. And you're getting closer.

Conservatives think that because something isn't perfect, it doesn't work
(but they still drive those massive SUVs and vans everywhere). They must think they are perfection personified, because they obviously work. You know that's silly, I hope.

It seems foolish and ridiculous to criticize something because it's a step along the way, closer than before.

Unless the criticism is based upon preconceived ideas, and the computer model, like reality, doesn't agree with those. Then the criticism makes a lot of sense.
