I think you may have missed what solost meant regarding disassociating yourself form the product. I took it to mean:

  This isn't mine therefore I don't care that much about it.
Rather than:

  I'm going to cut loose and walk away from this.
Disassociating yourself from your work (My understanding mentioned above) can be viewed as immature and unprofessional and that's what solost was saying, I believe. We've all done work that we're not happy with but there's a big difference between acknowledging the parts that we don't like and trying to disassociate ourselves from the work entirely.
