I think "perfection" can be relative both as to definition and
measure. Perfection is achieved when the result of design is as
expected. To "perfect" beyond such a goal is a waste of effort and
therefore starts to wind down into less than perfect. We design a
device to do a job (count to 3 and stop). The devise performs as
designed (perfect). How much more perfect can it get? Describe
for me how our box can be more perfect in continuance to infinity.

It is achieved all the time. It only becomes infinite if the
design goal is unknown which is unreasonable.
