To be perfect you would have to have every particle that constitutes you be perfect. As soon as we get down to the electron level, however, we can't even know the combination of where an electron is and which way it is going. At any moment in time, therefore, our perfect entity could be short one electron and therefore not be perfect.
I'd like to thank Mythos Beers for their assistance in the making of this argument.
One could play along with the silliness by arguing imperfection come in discrete fundamental units, sort of like a Planck imperfection, governedby generalized uncertainty principle. Any notional degree of imperfection less than one planck imperfection is in principle impossible to measure and is therefore meaningless. So anything that does not possess one complete planck imperfection is perfect.
