yes, I agree becuase I don't. for anything to be perfect there must be a differentiated state with which its perfection may be contrasted, hence disunity, subsequence and qualifiability. were everything perfect, it couldn't be because it would result in an invariable fractality, an infinite ontological recidivism.
but...
perhaps idealization of the form, the refining aesthetic appraisal of life, may aspire to perfectedness in a fleeting burst of unity consciousness, yet always remain just out of range, as much as any mediated, mimicry of direct experience of even the most inconsquential clump of creation can achieve. how can an unsubtantial series of intermittent heiroglyphs, a technological artifice dependent upon subdued senses convey that which is already perfect and inimitable? and even the most flamboyant and violent abstractions fail to describe the entrancement of our forlorn communion with the natural world, it is still a cinematic usurpation, a hypostasis and ephemeral calcification of the primum mobile. the perfect films or videos are the ones that aren't made.
on the other hand, considering the medium itself, perhaps in its wholeness a perfect mechanism of reducing otherwise implacable vistas to a scrap heap of celluloid... i like dancin' pitchers with them boobies on 'em. and fellas with udder fellas.

They ALL would, because all would be the perfect result of everything
that caused them.
