Musings about omnipotence and perfection.

[reverendjeremiah]

Perfection can mean flawless, without flaws. And since what is a "flaw" is a subjective matter, so can perfection be a subjective matter.

hmm..good point..as I said before, I would not expect a scientist to use the word "perfect", but if I was playing a song on my bass and I got all the notes correct I would say "that was perfect", but if someone disagreed, I would not question it. Saying it is perfect means across the spectrum, that everyone shold consider it perfect without question. Hmm, I pretty much stand by what I originally posted, that perfection is pretty much opinion. Perhaps it depends on how complicated the system is.

If it is something as simple as counting from 1 to 10, and someone does it, then I suppose you can say "he flawlessly counted from one to ten..it was perfect." but that would be rather humorous to me to use such words with simplicity. The more complicated a system, then I would say the use of the word perfect or flawless would be difficult to justify.

How about that Heisenberg uncertainty principle.. the more precisely one property is measured, the less precisely the other can be measured. kind of hard to get perfection when you cant tell locations with high precision now can we?

I feel that the words "perfect" is nothing more than a feel good word. A vocal blue ribbon.
