Perfection is lazy thinking. You don't have to work through what you actually need, and what your system can actually provide. You just set a standard that's very high, probably unnecessarily high. No one can ever fault you for not having high enough standards. You just pretend that you can overcome every obstacle along the way. The result of chasing perfection is a moral high ground that turns into a mess when reality hits and you learn the hard way what compromises have to be made, what resources you actually need, and what skills it would take to do a proper job.
It's not your fault of course, after all, you were only trying to be perfect.
