That being said, perfection would then require the halt in the changes of situation, i.e. being fully aware of the variables of life and be in complete control of them, thusly being able to create the most efficient model able to respond in such circumstances.
After thinking it through, I now wonder if our goal shouldn't be perfection but rather perfect adaptability...
