That actually makes sense to me now. It's about knowing what matters when. Code smells is sort of there, but people tend to get dogmatic when invoking them. It's about having a sense of when something is 'too much', or there ought to be a way do to it with less of something, etc. Or conversely recognizing that 'this', however rough-seeming, is about as good as it's going to get, without a genius showing up with a brand new idea.
