I think the "90% done" is related to the arcane maths that apply to programming projects. In my experience, when I'm 95% done - I have about half of the work left to do. So if I get help when I'm around the subjective 90% mark, I will still have the usability stuff left to do. Isn't that where you can't depend on one person's vision anymore?

Not only the usability stuff. In my experience, the amount of work I can foresee when starting a project is just a fraction of the real amount of work needed. Sometimes the unforeseeable work can take several times what I predicted. I would be tempted to say that the 80/20 rule fits almost right. That would make Miguel's 90% about 18% of the real work.
