I have always thought "mathematically." There is no such thing as perfection. Only God is perfect. But this brings up Calculus and thoughts of "the limit." I apologize.
Kitty and I were just listening to jazz music out of Sacramento CA. She came up and started rubbing on my leg, demanding to be petted.
I said, "Yes, that is some pretty good music. That lady sounds like Ella." Then I went back to working on my book chapter.
Kitty was unrelenting.
At that point I realized that this COULD be Ella, the greatest female jazz singer of all time, so I did a Google search.
OK, all of you mathematicians, physicists, philosophers, and farmers.
Is this perfection? Or is it merely "close"?

Yes... She had a lovely singing voice. But sometimes her scatting would get on my nerves. Only sometimes. Not like Jazzmeia Horn's, pure torture all the time.

@TheHorse Count yourself lucky. She's a screamer, not a singer, and her attempt at scatting sounds like the nonsense sounds some kids make when riding in a wagon on a bumpy road.

Here there is a saying :Gold can't be pure and man can't be perfect.

For me, there's no such as perfect. Only God is perfect.

I never liked math. Perfection is only meant for God.

There are several artists that I feel come close to perfection.

I think people are trying to coin the word perfect to make it achievable in the human condition but not true.
