Is perfect really possible?

This past weekend January 27th through the 29th the winter X-Games were in Aspen. At the games there are many events ranging from snowmobile best trick to the Superpipe. Within the Superpipe the athlete to watch was Shaun White. He has won the competition four times in a row and was looking for his fifth at this X-Games. The only thing that was holding him back was an ankle injury that prevented him from doing other competitions. During the qualification round Shaun White completed the Superpipe with a first place score that gave him a place in the final. Here is where the perfect score part come into play, Shaun White went for his third run down the superpipe completing the run with no mistakes. The judges gave Shaun a perfect score; with a run like that I would think about giving him a perfect score as well, but in my opinion I don't think that a perfect score is even possible. Yes, call me a loser because I dont think there is such a thing as perfect in this world. Because of that perfect score, it is going to hold Shaun at a higher level and it is going to be harder for anyone to do new tricks and get a good score. He deserved that score but I feel like there is no way that someone could be perfect. Shaun White is a very well know snowboarder and I think that the judges had some envy and pretty much just gave him the score. Don't get me wrong, I think it is awesome that he got that score but did he really deserve it?
