Somehow that is part of my questions...to rephrase them in your words let me say:
1. Does a perfect Being cease from being perfect simply because He chose to make an imperfect thing?

This is where GOD screws up his "all knowing" attribute. He is perfect, but according to grip_daddy chooses to create an imperfection, which is man, then forces the imperfection to bide by his perfect nature, and if the imperfection fails, of which will be the case anyway, and he already knows that because he is perfect, he goes ahead and punishes the imperfection or chooses to have 'mercy' on him provided the imperfection after that sings his praises infinitely. Your analogy of the genius falls flat here.

No he does not, but it brings to questions his motives for having given the wrong answer in the first place. Perfection is about absolutness. There are no two ways to it.

Wrong question, because the question presupposes that GOD has no bearing whatsoever on what the perfect man will choose after the creation. GOD is all knowing. Before you were born he knew. If that is the case how does he all of a sudden acts surprised when you appear to St. Peter with loads of imperfection asking for forgiveness?
