Lets use your car example. If your job required you to drive at the speed limit, say 55, would you buy a car that went only 55mph? If so, what would you do if they raised the speed limit to 75 mph? Your car only goes 55 mph. Do you now buy another car that has a top speed of 75 mph? According to your rule of just *adequate*, you would have to buy 2 cars whereas the guy that said we will do it right the first time bought a corvette that exceeds any kind of speed limit and probably costs less than the two cars the other guy bought not counting the time involved in changing cars.
