Re: [lojban] {cukta} as a case study for why the dictionary needs clearer, more detailed entries

Prefect WAS in quotes, so I'm fairly certain the author was aware that actual objective perfection is not possible and was not what was meant.

Another idea is to focus on making the Lojban definitions "perfect" and then using machine translation to generate the other-language definitions (which could then be reviewed if desired).

That's impossible since perfect languages don't exist. If one could make English definitions perfect then English could be immediately called a perfect language abandoning any need in any other languages.
