Not at all. I love it when people excel. However, expecting people to be perfect all the time spells the death knell of all that makes life interesting.
Would you rather live in a world of automatons? Or where every action that may suffer even slightly from human fallibility is done by a robot?

Celebrating mediocrity and accepting that humans aren't perfect and never will be are two totally different things. I am definitely squarely on the latter side.
It doesn't surprise me in the slightest that you have trouble with the distinction. I say that with no malice as I've had the same trouble myself.
Yes, the more you expect, the more you'll get. Just don't expect a pig to fly under it's own steam.
I've fought with my own perfectionism my whole life. If you expect absolute perfection you will for ever be disappointed. By all means expect excellence, just not perfection.

"Live to Ride, Ride to Live"
Every time someone makes a comment along the lines of "just stop crashing" it makes me cringe and think "yeah, if only it was that simple". Comments like that show a complete lack of appreciation of what it means to be human and at least implies an expectation of perfection.

At least they are trying to do something.It is a (mis)step in the right direction imho.It will work in some way to either go forward with more effective lobbying and protest ,or it wont so we will be no worse off.But it is part of the democratic process
Impotent?Surely the impotent ones are the ones who are bleating but not actully doing anything about it.
