@davidgerard well, I'm not a mind reader (or have blue sky or whatnot to see what you refer to), but no, I can imagine plenty of cases where you're technically right on this one.
It's just that I really like the phrase and find it useful to get things "out of committee" so to speak. You should come and join a #FAIRdata @NFDI conference some time to find how traumatizing endless looking for perfection perfected to a T can be ;)
