Couldn't agree more, Tim. I immediately run through all my exposures from a big shoot using Lightroom and reject anything that I know is never going to be worth processing any further. After a quick second pass looking for picks and another quick review, I then delete them from the hard drive and forget they existed.
Since I tend to shoot slowly and carefully on my personal work, I don't see three quarters going in the bit bucket most of the time ... usually more like half ... but when I'm doing an event assignment the percentage can be closer to 90%.
