I have a theory that:

A half-assed effort at doing something is better than putting no effort at all.

Do you agree or disagree?

The most common example is rushing a homework assignment; you won't get full credit since you rushed it, but you will get partial credit since you put SOME effort into it, even though it was a half-assed effort.

A half-assed effort supports the idea that Something is better than nothing. (And that can be a theory itself.)
