Of course the point Brett is making is that you can do anything you set your mind to. If we all waited until everything is just perfect before we did anything, or until we met someone elses standards, well... I daresay we would get nowhere.
Sure the right tool for the job at hand is always best. But getting started in the best fashion you can is the key.
