So, if you could theoretically have a perfect hammer, it can’t serve you perfect drinks or give you a perfect massage. And no object could ever be perfect for all uses. In the second case, one could argue that no things are perfect, as they could always be improved, in some way. And a brand-new iPhone 12 is perfect as a brand new iPhone 12. Basically, a worn-down iPhone 5 is perfect as a worn-down iPhone 5. Both of them are perfect at being themselves, the one you changed is just different. The thing was already perfect before, and still was, now that you’ve changed it. How else could they be? If you change something about the way things are, they aren’t the way they were anymore. Let me explain: In the first case, the state of perfection stems from the way things are as they are. Perfection is defined as a state without faults, but depending on your way of measuring faults, either all things must be perfect, or none of them are.
