when you start looking for perfection, you realize it's impossible to attain, so it takes the pressure off, and you - as Ravi Shastri would put it - go for maximum. but if you don't look for it, you will never realize it's impossible, so you perform inoptimally.
not clear?
btw, Jon Levin published his first article in the Journal of Economic Perspectives. I'd request anyone to look over the editorial policy and birth of this particular Journal to see why this observation has made an impression on me.
I'm not criticizing Levin, he's a very good economist. What frustrates me is the apparent non-random inconsistency of the editorial policies of journals...*grumble grumble*
I amuse myself here; Your amusement is intended but boundedly so
