Maybe, but even when it takes a lot of time to get it right, I always 
prefer the "Right Thing".

My past experience taught me that everything will always come back to 
the "Right Thing" even partly as it is *surprise* the "Right Thing" (TM).


Question is: are we in a hurry? Has somebody too little time to wait for 
the "Right Thing" to happen?
