Indeed! Precisely what demonstrates the imperceptible relationship
that perfection has with reality itself. Reality is _perfect_ - yet
our understanding of reality is _imperfect_. We cannot say perfection
is that which can be grasped - because it is not graspable, except
nuomenally. There is nothing in reality _ACCORDING TO OUR PERCEPTION
OF REALITY_ that is phenomenally perfect! But that does NOT mean
that reality is imperfect - only our perceptions of it.

Just the same as any number can have a 1 added to it. In fact, it
is precisely the same as any number - it's not infinite - any number
in fact, is finite - but does that mean there is no such thing as
an infinity? Analogously, any _status_ is imperfect, because it
can always be improved upon. Even if the _reality_ of that status
is perfect - our perceptions of that status will always be lacking.
