Similarly, from an engineer's perspective, scientists are a great addition to the working group when you need to find the flaws in the system, but awful when you actually just need something to go into the real world and work 80% of the time ;)

Especially when you're time constrained.

Definitely. Lots of scientists fall into the trap of letting "perfect" be the enemy of "good"
