It's certainly not very helpful in practise, no.

True. And when you do perceive perfection, you will recognise it as
such. It just might not fit your *current* concept of perfection.
To use your example of this perfect thing that doesn't fit in your box,
you may currently think that to be perfect it has to fit in your box,
but when you actually see it, you will realise that it is perfect,
despite not fitting in your box. As I said before, it's your box (and
your desire that the other thing fit in it) that's not perfect.
