"Good enough for now" principle

It is not always easy to distiguish when requirements and/or design are incomplete because of some unknowns (this is what agile approach thight with) or this is just about somebody is too lasy to think and specify consistent details.
I think running project according to "just good enough for now" principle is a difficult balancing and finding what is really can't be unknown at the moment and what we just need to put some time to think about right now to save time later for rework.
...this balancing require wize and expirienced man. One more point why agile projects can't be run by novices.
