Far from it ^ ^; Perfection was never among his aspirations, it's too elusive and contextual to be actually reachable, and the terrible cost/effective ratio is just not worth it. Beside, he's way too human to possibly be perfect in the first place.

"Never aim at perfection. Aim at quality. Satisfaction. Happiness. Never perfection."

That's his take on the matter. Make a happy present for you and your loved ones, and don't bother chasing ghosts, all you'll get out of it is losing track of everything you held dear.

Though it's true he does take exceedingly good care of his many protégés, so combined to his many qualities and their sheer magnitude, he may come across as such from their perspective (especially considering the magnifying effect of love, all the stronger when it is so clearly warranted).
