Yeah.. I'd agree with that actually. I tend to be perfectionistic in my work to the extent that I'll quite happily destroy everything I've done and start from scratch if I think it's worth it, just to iron out some minor creases. I'm like this with my music.. I'm far behind on recording anything just because there's something minor I'm not happy with, so I end up deleting the whole recording and starting again. I know it sounds like a waste of effort, but meh.
