What I mean by perfectionism is a desire for a certain unusually high level of challenge and thoroughness. It’s not about high valuation according to a more abstract or otherwise relevant measure/goal. So making a process “more perfect” in this sense means bringing challenge and thoroughness closer to the emotionally determined comfortable levels (in particular, it might involve making something less challenging if it was too challenging originally). The words “more perfect” aren’t particularly apt for this idea.
Ahh interesting, thanks for sharing!
