Pick any system you like. What makes you think you found IT? I maintain no system can ever be perfect, just a dream.

The perfect system is to assume that any thread started by PhilX is brain dead shit.
Works every time.

Perfect system for?
What would make someone think they found a perfect system is that it matches their ideal.

Are you saying that a perfect system can't exist?

At this level of vagueness, for any X that has effect Y, X is the perfect system for Y.
Gravity is the perfect system for allowing stuff to fall down.
Typing too hard is the perfect system for making my fingertips both tingly and numb at once.
Bill is the perfect machine that converts useful words into garbage sentences.

Someone could see everything as perfect even. It just depends on the person's ideals for the thing in question. Someone could see everything as ideally what it is. (And in my opinion that's not a bad thing to do.)

something that produces exact value and is highly ordered and readily definable. You may say it is synchronized and balanced. Convenient to its purposes. Understandable and equitable to the principles of its construction. That it leaves nothing out to chaos or chance. The zipper jacket on a coat.
