You're spinning a false dichotomy and frankly I don't need to respond to that. There's a spectrum between "code is not touched unless there's a new feature/bugfix ticket" and "code needs to be perfect". It's annoying and time consuming to keep tripping over code that does five similar things in five different ways, and has dependency graphs looking like a giant hairball. Don't try to make me say what I didn't say.
