As long as there is the notion that somethings flaws and defects can add an element to it or enhance it's appeal to someone then there can be no such thing.What you are decribing is not absolute perfection. So again, is absolute perfection subjective?

So if we can't think how absolute perfection would be perfect, or 'who it would be perfect for?', that doesn't mean that absolute perfection cannot exist.

And mere evidence for 'the absolute' isn't enough, for 'the absolute' requires absolute evidence (if we are to be rational), it requires proof. And since us mere mortals cannot have absolute evidence, we cannot have 'proof' outside the man-made field of mathematics, I don't see how it's possible that we can rationally believe in 'the absolute.' For it seems 'the absolute' is unfalsifiable, as is "God".What is absolute evidence? I agree the absolute requires strong evidence, but when we are imperfect beings can we ever be certain that the evidence we got is absolute?
