This kind of argument-against-perfection / argument-against-absolutes is so transparently useless. It may be that I've just been noticing it more, but it seems more common lately.
Perfection of any kind does not exist in the physical world, so any test against perfection will fail - it's simply a matter of phrasing to choose what you want to identify as failing.
The test isn't whether All or Every such-and-such meets some test, it's the current state (do many or most meet the test?) and the direction (are more or fewer meeting the test?) that matters.
