Leaving a mistake in a quilt is definitely a thing. The Amish are known to do it because of their religious beliefs. They believe that only God makes perfect things.
I guess I interpreted the original question differently than you did. To me if an article is perfect then comparing it to another one that is not perfect , the perfect one is better is what I meant. If achieving perfection is arduous then of course it's better for the achiever to settle for less than for sanity's sake. I get it as nothing I ever did was good enough. I decided to be the one to judge what was good enough. I set high standards for myself as I wanted to do good work but I never did reach perfection.
I believe the Amish and their alleged deliberate built in mistakes practice has been debunked and is considered a myth.
I think we can agree that dachshunds re the bestest breed? 😄
