Which way is the way?

How would you differentiate between a truly better way of doing something, from a way that will give the same result – just a different way, different preference? Yeah, perhaps I have to think hard, whether some things can be done in a different way, achieving the same efficiency and effectiveness.
But more importantly, I guess I need to remember that people are stubborn and egoistic and are unwilling to accept other way of things, though I believe it’s the level of knowledge instead of ego that prevents someone from acknowledging his/her own mistakes. Or is it really about the damned ego?
The million dollar question, ultimately, is where to draw the line between settling for someone else’s choice (which may just be a different taste, like colours) and vehemently voicing out disagreement. How much efficiency or effectiveness should be compromised (or sacrificed) to please someone else (giving them self worth) before it’s too much?
Is it just me or am I too much of a perfectionist? Is it better to debate about an issue until a conclusion is reached, or just settle for a quick discussion – meaning settling for whatever suggestion that get’s thrown out first?
Sigh.. humans, humans.. you truly mystify me..
