"I've been using 'perfect' to mean 'actually not having anything wrong with it', not 'suiting one particular person and anybody sufficiently similar to them really well'. I'm not sure whether, if the world had been made perfect by that definition a hundred years ago, you'd have been born - it's entirely possible that your father wouldn't have been and that would sew you up too; I probably wouldn't have been because my parents met the way they did; etcetera - but if someone tried to make the world perfect today, and that squeezed you out of it altogether, they'd be doing it wrong."
