Fair enough. But my point was that, sooner or later, you'll need to deal with the details and I've found that is, quite often, the most time consuming part (sometimes you just misjudged which ones where the issues, and which ones the details).

You can always delegate the "details", but there's a difference between delegating and deferring (the work for yourself). Knowing what to delegate is very important, of course, which is the main point of edw519's comment, I think.
