there would have been little to no oversight in terms of
cost-to-use effectiveness. What was it that sage hero of Soviet
history,
Josef Stalin, said? "'Perfect' is the enemy of 'good enough'."

It is not Stalin proverb, rather general russian proverb.

So young, Mikhail, if Stalin used it it's a Stalin proverb.


In mid 80. IIRC one US engineer visited Aviation Institute (ILot) in Warsaw,
Poland. He was real Tex in stetson hut. He worked before in the team
designing heat-resistant cover for space shuttle. He used the same
expression. He claimed that if they wouldn't stop to play with new
inventions space shuttle wouldn't never fly.

Tell me - maybe it's Texan proverb? ;-8)

This is rather OT, so bye in this thread.
