Capitalism is perfect because it consistently achieves it's goals.

I guess concentration camps were perfect too, then?

Boy, this got good. Show me the logical argument that claims perfection is moral

You didn't answer my question, but I take that as a yes.

You're unnecessarily loading moral baggage onto what he said. I don't know why.

I'm simply pointing out how ridiculously absurd this definition of "perfection" is, and using an extreme example to that purpose. I think my point would be clear enough to anyone who isn't either stupid or disingenuous.
