What really happens is that we symbolize reality to a near-fit, and then blame reality when it can't conform to our own simplicity. So we symbolize a cloud of particles as a "flat" table, look at it under a microscope, and discover there's no flatness to be found-- the particles, after all, are moving, and cannot therefore be perfectly aligned in a virtual plane.
So in short, I'd say everything is perfect except our ideas of things.
Flaws are very useful amongst the perfection.
