Spot a mistake in the code.. Should i:

1. live with it and continue to build on top of it.. Do a special validation just for this special case.. Which is a quick solution

2. or rebuild that component.. But have to rewrite the 4 controllers that is using that component.. Which is a long solution

The daily dilemma of taking over someone elses project.. 。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。
