The affection and perfection are completely different things first of all. While Affection is an emotion , the perfection is a skill set. Perfection, in its core term, doesn't even exist. No one has achieved perfection anywhere. But this word we generally use for a high-end skill set. 

Now the question is - Does Affection distorts Perfection? 

Technically, Yes it does ! 

Actually, being a strong emotion, affection clouds the judgement skills of a person and he won't be able to judge the perfection's degree. It can actually be said that, let's just say for an example, the people you love they are just perfect for you, although they may be worse for everyone else. If you care for someone, you won't mind their mistakes too much and even you would call them perfect more often. 

Let's just understand this with a brief example:

 A teacher in a small school used to talk about "Affection distorts Perfection" often in his class. One day his students got an amazing example, proving those words exactly true. They heard the teacher talking to one mother.

"How is your daughter living"? - the teacher asked.

Actually, she is so happy with her husband. She has a caring husband. He gave her a luxury car for commuting day to day travels, bought her jewelry that she always dreamed about, hired servants for her care. They serve breakfast and lunch to her in bed until she stays in bed. He’s not a husband, but a God's gift.

"And how’s your son"- the teacher asked.

Oh ! He married a real whine. He gave her whatever she ever desired a - a luxury car , the jewellery she always wanted still she doesn't get up until noon and lays in bed the whole time. She doesn't eve make breakfast for her husband.

Now the truth is, the lady’s son and daughter both were happy with their respective spouses, but problem is their mother had a completely wrong perception about the roles of husbands and wives. So, even if her son was content with his wife, the lady’s perception about his wife is bad because she never cared for her like her daughter. So, she perceived her to be real whine. On the other hand when her daughter enjoyed the same luxury as that of her daughter-in-law yet she was filled with happiness and couldn't stop herself to feel happy for her daughter, but not her daughter-in-law.

The Conclusion-- Affection can surrender your judgement skills and makes you naive. With affection on his side, a person can't seek perfection in the person he care for. So, I believe the ''Affection distorts Perfection'' is true and I tried to prove it with above example.

Thanks for reading.

I would say it depends on the person and the definition of perfect, which is not easy in my eyes.

According to Wiki:

Perfection is, broadly, a state of completeness and flawlessness.

Both of which are very dependent on the subjective impression of things.
What does one understand about a state of completeness and flawlessness.
What is flawless? What is an error, in kinds of good and bad?

Often they lead us to the goal of being more complete and flawless...

Anyway, very interesting topic!
