Perfection would seem to be following every note and notation exactly as written. Perhaps something best left to a machine trained to never deviate from the score.
And yet I doubt that Beethoven's 9th as rendered by a machine would be perfection. In fact, I'll bet we'd probably scrunch our faces at what we heard.
Perhaps perfection is like beauty, in the eyes and ears of the beholder.
