A psychologist all too easily falls into the role of negativity (perhaps it should be called the "negative bias". And if something is wrong (Find 5 Mistakes), then we should do something about it. I would thing Satisficing is a strategy for being satisfied with a tendency to being mean and lean rather than fat and lazy. (But then again I too am a psychologist and I do rather have a negative bias towards other psychologists. Sheer oneupmanship towards the professional oneuppers.)

Your post seems mostly from the perspective of a producer rather than consumer. The consumer cares more about whether the product is good enough for their purposes than whether it is as good as the producer can make it.
