Perfection of the imperfection? How so?
Any society strives to perfection. Skepticism is a tool; trying to achieve the truth, no doubt, but is the absolute truth possible? I don't think it is. There'd be also the ability to err barring the path. Even if a being did possess absolute truth... would it be able to commit mistakes?

In primitive cultures of our times , the population have the answers to all the questions. They think they have the "correct" answers.
It doesn'nt matter if they were given by a "divine" or magical way.According to your definition they should be perfect , but they are only perfect in their imperfection.
Then , "perfection" depends on the eyes that are looking through.
