That's true... But you can do your darndest to put something GREAT in front of users... Because the "release early, release often" religion is currently so dominant, it's pretty common to see people release stuff that they KNOW is mediocre with the hopes that their users will help them make it good. The "... if we did it this way, we could get it out the door in a few weeks.." argument is only sound if what you get out the door is a damn good attempt to solve the core problem in the simplest/most effective way possible.
