Well, again, it depends on what you mean by "perfect". I've never seen a manuscript that didn't have a few things that could be made better. It may be sentences here and there that need tightening, or need cut altogether, it may be a bit of dialogue that doesn't say what should be said, it may be a minor character who needs to be cut, etc., but a few things do need changed.
I have, however, seen many, many manuscripts that had zero spelling errors, zero grammattical errors, and had perfect formatting.
I am sure it must be rare to see those manuscripts with no spelling and grammatical erros and perfect formatting. I think I mean a manuscript that can be sent straight to the publishing house because it's that perfect.
