The author’s purpose of this text was to persuade. Bozzone explains how perfection is subjective and how physical flaws can actually be beneficial.
The author says that perfection in nature is a matter of perspective and that physical flaws can actually enhance performance in certain activities. A flaw does exist, but it can be seen as an advantage rather than a disadvantage.
The author does not think there is a "perfect body" in the traditional sense. Human flaws have helped people like Michael Phelps, Simone Biles, and Usain Bolt excel in their respective sports.
Understanding the author's point of view helped me to understand the topic better by challenging the traditional notion of a "perfect body." Before reading, I may have believed that the example of da Vinci's "Perfect Man" had all the right proportions. However, after reading, I discovered that the body type of athletes like Michael, Simone, and Usain may not fit that standard, but it perfectly suits the activities they excel at. This changed my understanding of the "perfect" body type and made me realize that it is subjective and dependent on the specific context or activity.
