There are plenty of situations where "good enough" is a better choice, and "not adding yet another tool set or system for our 2 person dev team" has a quality all its own.

There are absolutely situations where it must be both RIGHT and as fast as possible under all loads, and there are situations where it needs to be right and not do WRONG things under abnormal loads. For a startup worrying about handling thousands of transactions can wait until triple digit customers.
