All the more reason to cultivate discipline, to make almost
a fetish of exactness. It may or may not limit the scope of your
creativity, but it *will* limit the scope of your mistakes. I've
made a pretty successful career out of being a careful non-genius;
you can do so too. But "careful" is the word, "meticulous" is
the byword, "slapdash" is the word you must reject.
