Hello Mr. Rigor.
I also know gukynopt exists. Welcome to Gukynopturous.
How is it that one knows not that perfection is a "real thing"? Cannot
one build a wall precisely parallel to the direction of gravity? Can
one not precisely spell a word? Can one misssspell a word incorrectly?
Is a perfect square not discernible? Is a skewed square not obvious?
Why bother using a square to prevent mistakes while making a dresser,
or to prevent a mishapen drawer? Why use a plumb-bob? Why use a level?
Why measure _anything_? if perfection is a fiction. Why all the
complex mathematics to program a space-craft on its way to the moon?
Wouldn't chance offer better chances then, if it were not for perfection?
... Why are there 5 syllables in the word "monosyllabic"?
