Design Limitations Cause Bad Design

The more I think about it, the more I am starting to think that most bad design decisions aren't made because the designer didn't anticipate them or was a bad designer, but because of the limitations of the project (time, budget, technology, resources (human and otherwise)) prevented a more complete solution. Sometimes in product development, compromises have to be made to get the product out the door. And, not to sound like Microsoft here, but sometimes even a greatly-flawed product is better than none at all.
