The above is always philosophically desireable. However, if you're a 
student of TQM, one of the first things you learn is, that slogans 
and goals that espouse "Zero Defects" should NEVER be used. If 
this is your goal, the probability is that you will always fail. Work 
on the assignable causes (where there is a measurable benefit and 
there is a risk in not working on it) and leave the chance cuases 
alone. Dollars spent to fight chance cuases are a waste of effort 
and money.
