I disagree with the bits about total honesty in arguments- to be able to actually apply that depends very much on the context of the argument, and there are many where it's not appropriate. But again I'm probably placing this into the context of education. And it's something I'd keep in the back of my mind, so disagree is perhaps too strong, but I don't wholly agree.
I also find personally that if I start out seeking perfection, I end up being unable to start whatever it is I'd set out to do. Once I've got past the novice stage, I'm able to set higher and higher standards. But there needs to be some sort of satisfaction there, albeit without complacency.
