Answer to lost momentum

An answer to the post called "Lost momentum":
I cannot say that beauty lies in deviance from perfection, only that this is the way it seems. Neither me nor anyone else alive has ever witnessed perfection, and so have no basis for comparison. It is my notion of perfection that is flawed - thinking I know what perfect music is like. Beauty lies in deviance from what we see as perfection, which is normally a set of laws for what music, or other forms of art, should be like. These ideas are flawed. Perfection is utterly unknowable.
