Imperfect and temporary relief is still a valuable endeavor.
That's funny I've had the "...but not quite" in my vocabulary for years and I never realized where it might be from.
There is a specific brand of terminally online "if it isn't perfect it isn't worth doing" contributes-nothing-naysayer that you see all over the internet, and every time I see them I think of this poem.
Their knee perk reactions are so automatic that I genuinely do not think a single thing could be done to thier satisfaction.
It's not "imperfect", the problems keep getting worse and these token efforts are to stop real progress
Ah so it's worse than imperfect in your mind. It's intentionally malicious.
