True, as an example McDonalds has the same flavor across all its
restaurants.  It's an OK flavor, and good to the majority, but it will
never beat a burger made to match your own tastes and preferences.  It
will never be "yummy."  However, it will be consistent, fair, and
"good enough" for most cases. It should go without saying that your
version of yummy may well be yucky to another consumer.

Often, in a large community, one must sacrifice "yummy" for "good enough"

If "good enough" doesn't cut it then one is always free to fulfill
their yummy elsewhere.
