Hi Lew,
Of course they know when to stop. It's when time and/or money run out!
It's the age old triad of engineering: time, money, and quality. You
can never have all three at once (quick, cheap, and good). You must
sacrifice one of the three in order to get the other two. For example,
if you want it quick and good then it will cost a lot of money. If you
want it quick and cheap then you better be ready to accept low quality.
If you want it good and cheap, then expect to invest a lot of time.
This rule, of course, doesn't apply to the world of the artist ;-)

Basic problem with engineers, they don't know when to stop?
Like a kitty cat playing with a ball of string.
Basic reason I got out of it.
