Yes, arguing about who fixes their holes "first" is pointless, but who fixes their holes "ever" is very important. It doesn't any sense for me to fix my holes if you have your finger in your ears saying "la la la I can't hear you" when I ask when you're going to fix yours.
It always makes sense to fix your holes. The ship is taking on water, yo. The sooner the better. Then you've got a whole hell of a lot better argument to make me fix mine. Instead I can just turn around and point right back at you and say the same damn thing about you, and we get nowhere. Which, incidentally, is exactly where we have been getting because of lazy excuses like this. Which is why I described it as "pointless dithering and finger-pointing."
