I would guess that the number is < 1%. Possibly far less.
How about those whose way of doing things is to always do things the "best" way? Ok, I'll guess .00001%.
I might be too generous though.

Hahaha, you're doing it the wrong way! 
It's an OO world.

Been there done that, unfortunately even when you have done all the analysis and implemented the solution in the best manner there is always that one thing that was not communicated to you or the exception you were not told about that breaks your solution.

Go check the wierd and wonderful forum and see if you're mentioned there 
Otherwise, as long as you remember this pain, then it's a character building exercise.
Now, think about all of the characters we have here at CP... does that help you feel better?!

And what percentage of them realize that the research they did is probably meaningless in terms of real production systems?

Most of the time I feel like I am digging a play pit in a sand box and I have lots of time to do it. Then every once in a while I get to implement the entire water, sewage, electrical and cable system for an entire city and it absolutely must be done in 3 days or less.

So far my daughter and I have been practicing at home with pvc pipe, and using loaners when we were at the academy. I just ordered us a some kali sticks today, so I should have them in a week.
I'd do the little dancing guy icon, but I don't know how.

Cool! I had to look up kali stick, though. I've used a jong bo and kendo sticks, but never heard of kali. Sounds like fun!

I actually take Jeet Kune Do for my striking class. It's mostly Muay Thai, Win Chung, and Phillipino arts (like kali) .
