I think this is totally right. But some things really do need to be as close to perfect as you can get them. The things in that category that I've run into most are security, privacy, and legal compliance. But in other applications, safety issues would also go in this bucket. So those things really do need a proactive gate, or maybe in some cases, at least an extremely fast reactive response capability. But this just means it is more important to identify the smallest set of considerations like this, in order to give them special treatment, rather than requiring higher scrutiny for everything - if everything is special nothing is special - and to invest in ways for work to be done without implicating those special considerations.
