I disagree in the situation where there is a business case for slinging something fast out there: sometimes it can, and certainly has for me, move the project forward in terms of money or some other short term goal. So be it, one can't fight gravity in certain situations (i.e., create time that simply doesn't exist). If your goal is to merely create great code then I guess that does not apply but I suspect few (working) people are actually in that situation.
