As for "perfect products" - there is a point where you have to decide whether you want to (1) offer something that does a major part of the task well, or (2) hold out until you can guarantee to do 100% of the task plus anticpate additional requirements that might arise in the future. I guess if I were designing a system to take people to the moon and get them back safely I would opt for (2), but translating braille is a hell of a lot easier and lots less risky!
