Excellent points to add to this discussion. One must always weigh the time it would take clean things up.
I think the main point I was trying to make with my post was; a lot of times it would take less time to just fix things than it would be to ask for permission to do so.
The corrollary of this is that it almost always takes longer to explain to a Project Manager why something isn't done yet/can't be done/shouldn't be done that way (etc) than it would do just to finish it or do it another way or do it properly (as the case may be).
