It has often seemed to me, in Scripture that

God, tends, when describing someone as perfect

to be speaking to the attitude of their heart vs every detail of their behavior.

Well, it is a hypothesis, and I do not argue with hypotheses. There is nothing in the scripture that would compel this view. The descriptions I mentioned are deliberately sweeping: "perfect", "filled with grace", "without blame".
