Unfortunately, I don't. I am forced to execute the best I can within my constraints.
I imagine the same agony exists for many anime production committees

I'm unclear what you you are getting at here. I wrote quite clearly about productions where little effort was required to turn out a product that at least made back its investment (simplistically put, doing a job is not the same as doing a good job). So, I am unsure what that has to do with the dilemma of any artist (or worker) when it comes to time management.
That being said, you managed to in one post turn mere competency into something to strive for. I'd hope it goes without saying that everyone should always strive for their best in what ever field you are a part of and aiming for averagedom should not be encouraged (though it is a natural state for quite a few productions).

I did give specific "advice" (establishing a criteria by which an "execution" can be qualified as "good"). Whether you agree my "advice" counts as good criteria to use or simply insufficient for our very subjective definition, is an actual discussion (which I do not care to have this late hour), but claiming that there was no advice at all is false.

Well, that's not really what I call constructive feedback.

I am doubly confused now. Your hypothetical(s) seem to have little to do with anything I've written...
