"Perfect is a word that can only accurately used in reference to mathematics, (numbers in the mental sense being the only truly perfect things), for perfection is unachievable in any other aspect of physical or mental nature. Thus, the word perfect is an imperfection in itself." Koji J. Akagi 03/29/2007

Actually, numbers are not perfect, since they are abstractions and not real. What is perfect possesses perfect qualities. Existence is a more perfect quality than in existence. Thus numbers would only be perfect were they not abstractions. all the best urban

In reality, 'perfect' is in relation to what you are comparing it to! Everyone has a different perspective and expectations of 'perfect'! And it is true, in mathematics, there is 0% variance in the answers! Thats why I like accounting, taxes, and bookkeeping!

Hi, koji_akagi. Do you know I have given presentations on the ways of looking at matters other than the world suggests you.So, the discussion is going to be interesting. Now, let me suggest another way of describing that perfect is one of the few words that have gained perfection. None of us is perfect, so our analysis of any word can not be perfect, i.e. we can not say a word as arising imperfection, straight away. Also, since the word perfect can not be correctly associated with this imperfect world, the word perfect does not contain the imperfections introduced by this imperfect world. Well, who is perfect? If you believe in God, you will say He is. So, perfect is concerned with the one who controls our ability to limit just below perfection. So, who are we to question the word that is meant only for one but not for us all.
