I think it comes down to what does it mean to be perfect? Perfection is without flaw so then what is "flaw". An error, something that wasn't suppose to happen, something out of character, a mishap. And yet it also boils down to context. On a true universal level, reality IS perfect but within it are things that we percieve as flaws. The universe does not error. Its doing what it is suppose to. On a universal level, an imperfection is something wrong with the system - as in the physics of nature. A baby being born blind does not violate physics. To us a baby born blind is a flaw but it is a flaw of genetics, not the physical nature of reality. So in that sense, even though blindness is a genetic flaw that we perceive as an error in existance, the baby is no less perfect because at its core element, it is still of this universe.
When considering perfection is important that we seperate ourselves from our own perceptions that blind us from truly seeing perfection as it is and we must see it within a given context. Philosophically, the whole of reality all time space and matter all that ever is was or will be combined into one universe is perfection. The question becomes what is beyond perfection? Something that we could even equate to Brahman, or the Hindu version of divinity. Brahman is perfection, he is also flaw. He is everything concievable and everything inconcievable. It impossible to know Brahman and yet we experience him through everything we do and through all that we live.
There is a saying "A man who claims to know the Tao does not know the true Tao".
