> If you're hell-bent on (shallow) perfectionism, you perceive the dichotomy as perfect vs imperfect. One step more healthy is simple vs. complex, because it means you've recognized that time is finite, and too much complexity can legitimately kill a project

What follows is the recognition of the difference between complex and complicated. One can lose time focusing on the complexities, and create a time-consuming complicated system. Or one can build a simple system which allows (or will allow) for complex possibilities (but is not complicated) and shrink down time consumption by a significant margin.
