It may depend on whether you're playing on a clock, too. Explicit comparison is slow and time can be a cost.

Satisficing seems to be almost exclusive to time sensitive careers.
All careers are time-sensitive. If there's an acceptable solution that you can implement in a day, you boss generally won't be happy about it if you spend a week implementing a "better" solution.
