"Worse is better" is about pragmatism - do what works. "Better is better" is about doing what's right. But if something is "right", and yet doesn't work as well as something that's "wrong"... how "right" is it? (Note that here we are talking about technology, not morality.)

If your original vision wasn't dead on, this may be better than a perfect implementation of a flawed vision.
