This is also easily proven incorrect when you start to analyse how “print” works and wether it stands to be improved in any way.

No. No code is “perfect”.

Aye, a draconian view of the "perfect."

As opposed to… the lenient view of “perfect”? Perfection is a binary state, either something is or it isn’t. What is /defined/ as perfect in a given context is subject to change, but the meaning of the word is absolute.

I love that we are debating the platonic perfect form of perfect.
