Wool and Water

"How can she knit with so many?" the puzzled child thought to herself. "She gets more and more like a porcupine every minute!"

Errors



How many errors are acceptable? Is there some sort of magic line you can't cross? At what point does a small mistake that is invisible to all but the creator become a glaring disruption indicating sloppy execution of a pattern? Does utility determine acceptability?

Some people are perfectionists - denying entry to even the most miniscule deviation - but usually more in some areas of their existence than others. Perhaps we are more willing to admit errors in those parts of us which are less competent to begin with, and strive for perfection in those areas in which we excel.

Of course, the idea presents itself that necessarily a creation will be in some way less perfect than its creator - which in turn presumes a certain randomness which inserts itself into any thing that is created. But this would only hold true if the primary creator was in fact truly perfect to begin with - any secondary creator might be inserting less perfection in its creative endeavors or merely passing along the quirks of its own imperfection ...

All this philosophizing aside - I suppose I can live with all the mistakes in the WRS - after all, there has to be a balance between its perfection and its completeness - if I never ignore some imperfections - it will never be complete ...
