What is perfection?
What is being perfect?
What makes you think that the things we now consider perfect or great are not actually the opposite?
Here's an example, if it is considered the norm to eat cockroaches or the norm to smell bad, would people still find it weird or disgusting? Answer is, NO.
Everything is defined by the human mind and by the majority of the society. Most minds judge on what's right and wrong based on the Norms of the society. So if you think about it, perfection can be anything, people made the definition up based on the majority of the society. And look, if everyone is different in their own way, if everyone has their own thoughts and standards, then perfection to them would be defined by their own standards. (THAT is on individual terms)
Everyone is so caught up in trying to find the "perfect" something. Perfect work, perfect lover, perfect life, perfect results. Everyone is so obsessed in finding the perfect something they even get depressed and beat themselves up over it. Have you ever thought that maybe your definition of perfect isn't what the society considers as perfect? There isn't an actual "perfect" in this world. Nothing and no one is perfect. But they can be if you match them up to your own standards. The society's standard of perfection is high but how bout yours? Why conform to the society to only suffer from it? The only true "perfection" in this world is where one particular thing is accepted, liked or admired by the majority of the society.
It's hard to get there, yes. But not impossible.
But I would say, have your own definition of perfection have your own style of work, do your best in everything and don't beat yourself up over not reaching "perfection".
Everyone is different and everyone's work is different, everyone's view of perfection is different as well as their standards.

Perfection is distorted and has no true limitations or standards.
