Some of you might want to take a look at this, Lord knows I've struggled with GSF1 and 4.

He forgot 'chronic perfectionism', the notion that if a job is done less than perfectly, it's some kind of personal failure. Apart from the chance of leading to reduced self esteem it usually irritates co-workers.

In the non-pathological variant, this trait is called 'professionalism'.

It's an interesting read, and probably true for the most part....

I personally don't THINK that I have any of those fallacies...but it's possible that I have a bit of GSF 3.....
