Showerthought: my dad's old 'just get it working' advice doesn't fly anymore

I was helping my dad fix his old truck radio last weekend, and he said 'back in my day, if it powered on and made sound, you called it good.' That hit different because I just spent two days chasing a 0.5 volt drop on a G1000 bus in a Cessna 172. The plane would have flown, but the spec is the spec. Made me realize how much our job changed from fixing things to proving they're perfect. Anyone else have a moment where the old way of thinking just didn't fit the new work?
