I don't think the person you're responding to is a perfectionist. He just has a different view on how to improve things.

Granted, I think I used a somewhat different sense of the word "perfectionist" than the usual one, in an effort to contrast it with "incrementalist". I'm not sure what the better wording to contrast those things is; "incrementalist" vs. "full-solution-ist"?
