But something that conforms perfectly to an imperfect standard must
logically also be imperfect.
So to determine whether it is perfect, we must compare it to a perfect
standard, but then we must compare the standard to another perfect
standard in order to establish that the standard itself is perfect, and
so on ad nauseum.
This doesn't mean that the perfect is impossible of course, just that we
can't prove it scientifically.
