The third paragraph (which is referenced in the title) makes an excellent point. I wish he had expanded on this more.
The fact is that modern western culture strongly values timeliness over quality. Thus, we are often penalized for "taking the time to do it right". (For all you Myers-Briggs fans: Our culture strongly favors the J preference, which can be rough on those who are more inclined toward the P side.)
That does not mean that we all need to start valuing timeliness more. But it does mean that it is a good idea to remember that we will usually be evaluated, rewarded, etc., based on a value system that attaches great importance to timeliness.
