My erroneous shots rarely elicit a "Love it" response, some are even focussed but rarely are they interesting :-) I tend to immediately purge shots with gross errors, such as focus and motion blur or gross over or under exposure, most other stuff I'll keep which means I don't delete much. Since committing to a full digital work-flow I've kitted myself out to ensure that I never have to edit in the field to free up file space.
