This is a double-edged sword though.

Many substandard stories come about because of over-revision.

Lets say this is definitely true. There are still waaaay more substandard stories that come about due to under-revision. Revision is definitely your friend. And consider the difference between an artists revision and a producers revision. Overly safe movies result from the latter.

All that said I think the first bullet point is even more important but more easily overlooked. I often see people talking about the events theyre plotting out and the things they want to see happen, but its so important to have interesting characters to respond to or cause those things.
