We're all guilty at times of over-debating issues that, in the end, don't really matter that much. My Dad worked in construction and had a saying that helped reel in perfectionism (similar problem to these endless design discussions): It ain't a piano. The point being that nothing they were working on was as finely tuned as a piano and so they didn't need to get it that perfect. Maybe the agile community can take on "It ain't a pacemaker" as our reminder that we don't need to make it perfect. This is a great post!
