Oh, I so agree with both of you, OHGrandma and kimck!

My whole philosophy of life:

Get the best info you can get at the time, make the best decision you can make based on what you know, and then banish regret. If you did the best you could at the time, kicking yourself is a waste of time. And always make decisions to avoid regret. It's been quite effective at helping me to overcome procrastination and perfectionism. (And it's why we had a second child! smile )

Maybe this is the way to frame it for your DS, Lorel?: will you be more likely to regret doing it or not doing it?

(Though I guess that depends upon what you think his answer will be...)
