If thorough testing and 100 experts can’t find a problem, the thing is probably perfect.

If you can get 100 experts to agree on something then you've cracked a much harder problem than software quality.

Presumably, this is why the next paragraph opens with "Perfection is impossible."

So, if 100 experts can’t find a problem, the thing is probably perfect. Unfortunately, this will never happen, because perfection is impossible.

Agreed. We cant even get 10 dentists to agree which toothpaste to use. Getting 100 experts to agree on anything is a miracle.
