Can you name anything that DOESN'T do this?  Was he supposed to just
hit it right the first time around?  Do you expect this level of
perfectionism out of people?

The Soviet Union, in a changing political clime, now doesn't think
that Communism is such a hot idea.  The Catholic Church, in changing
political climes over the years, stopped believing the earth was the
center of the universe.  How about you?  Are you a programmer?  Are
all your programs bug-free the first time around?  Have you scored
100% on every test you've ever taken?

Hope I didn't sound too dictatorial, I'd just like to point this out
once and for all.
