This is not intersection of arrays! btw, are your sample solution arrays right? Yes! Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.	[reply]

Yes!

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.
