Tom,
The term 'good enough' lingers horribly in my ears from various regretable experiences where, frankly, the standard of work was not 'good enough' although the excavators declared it was (bye bye!). I would describe such poor efforts as the consequence of vague standards where your description of best practice as 'weasily' is particularly apt. So, we have standards and they are open to interpretation, good and bad. Therefore, when I refer to 'good standards', I would opt for the positive(+) end of the minimum standard scale.
Surely you are arguing that 'good enough' and 'minimum standards are one and the same?
