That still does not answer my rhetorical question. One still has to acquire a
level of perfection before one can practise perfection, so how does one reach
that level of performance in the first place? None of us has ever seen a
beginner display perfection of movement in any activity, not even the world's
greatest athletes, so one always has to begin from a state of magnificent
imperfection!
