pureperfect

Perfection is a false concept. Attempting to invoke it in reality assumes a completely static universe. The word "perfect" is only ever used to describe things that don't actually exist: the perfect vacation, the perfect man/woman, the perfect job, the perfect martini...
Using the word is tacitly admitting the thing you're talking about does not actually exist.

Reminds me of Plato's concept of the ideal form in The Republic.
