Bollocks. Tell me, Steve, what does it mean to say that something is "perfect"?
Basically, maximally ideal for its intended purpose. But when it's modifying 'being', we are talking more about abilities. Doesn't matter though, I followed up that sentence with a clarification that was at least sufficient to cover the OP's attempt to link free will with learning by trial and error. You cannot escape learning by trial and error without the knowledge of everything appropriate to being human (including moral knowledge).
