In need of Less but better or Good enough

The great design thinker Victor Papanek's well known line "There are professions more harmful than industrial design, but only a few of them" is now more truth than ever. As Alf Rehn said it in Designing Slow Life Conference: " We don't need more, we need less, but better". Well, what is better and from whose point of view? That is more tricky, because for the user  producer's good enough is often better than the producer's best possible, as Alf Rehn also said (about).
