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.
