> It's hard to argue with the concept that only the best is good enough.

But, there's also the aphorism that "the perfect is the enemy of the 
good". I take that to mean that chasing the perfect technique may keep 
you from making "merely good" prints of your truly creative work, which 
is what I think we really should be striving for.

I also have to wonder about images that only seem to be interesting 
because of the technique used to create them - is it my vision or my 
advanced technique that I'm  offering? Shouldn't great vision with 
merely good technique trump poor vision, no matter how exalted a 
technique is used? If it's all about technique, why should we print and 
show anything but grayscales?

Obviously (at least I think it's obvious), there has to be some balance: 
pursue your technique while refining your vision, but don't let "merely 
good" technique prevent you from doing your creative work - expand your 
technique as your vision demands.
