Perfection is unattainable. You're never going to get something that's perfect, done. Not with your budget. Not with your timeframe. Not so that you can test it to see if that's what people really want. Perfection is an oasis.

One day, as if overnight, all the airport check-in people and desks disappeared. In their place appeared computerised self-tagging stations. Across the...
