It can be argued that we cannot conceive of perfection, because to us, perfection is merely a concept. Perfection does not exist for us to see it. For example, nowhere in humanity is there a perfect being. How can we imagine it? You might say you can imagine perfection, but I doubt you are adequately capable of conceiving of it. Seriously.
