What is adequacy? Adequacy is no standard at all.

Winston Churchill

Adequacy is sufficient.

Adam Osborne

Walter Kaufmann

Adequacy is the enemy of excellence.

Peter Drucker

He had delusions of adequacy.

Walter Kerr

Charlie Munger

Adequacy is sufficient. All else is superfluous.

Adam Osborne

Basic would never have surfaced because there was always a language better than Basic for that purpose. That language was Joss, which predated Basic and was beautiful.
