I didn't misunderstand you I disagree with your numbers and what 
they implied you were thinking about the tradeoff space.

The difference between 90% and 95%, isn't *linear*, 0-1 
probalitys are an s-curve, and 90% means it breaks 1 out of 10, 
95% means it breaks 1 out of 20, 99% means it breaks 1 out of 
100. etc.

Given a complexity increase of 2x going from 90% to 95% means on 
the user's end they will get 1/2 the number of headaches, so I 
would feel that's a good and realistic trade-off. By all means 
don't chase 100%, but 95,97,99% different story.
