I wonder if this thinking would be consistent if the original language
were something besides English, and the target language were English.
I don't know, but somehow, I doubt people would hang around your web
site long if it were entirely machine-translated. It's like you are
offering second-best for all languages but English. I, for one,
appreciate Frank's desire to do it right.

In my own experience, I've found that when I tried the "good enough"
approach, I all too frequently had to do it again and get it
right--thus nearly doubling my effort than if I had just done it right
in the first place. I'm no fan of the "good enough" variety of work
ethic. (and I certainly don't want it in my mechanic or doctor!!!)
