Perfectness VS perfection

This essay indicates and proposes that so called "neat" is in fact extremely
simple, in its negative meaning, while "sloppy" people are really considerate and
likely to make everything perfect. "Sloppy" people are described to pursue the
perfectness/perfection in everything he plans to do.

I didn't know there is a word 'perfectness' when I was choosing the word 'perfection' underlined.

Can the meaning differ?

Hi, In my opinion, there is no difference in meaning. e. 'perfect' to which one of two suffixes, '-ness' or '-ion', is added, thus forming the noun from the adjective 'perfect'.

Hi,

In my opinion, there is no difference in meaning. Both nouns have the same morphological root, i.e. 'perfect' to which one of two suffixes, '-ness' or '-ion', is added, thus forming the noun from the adjective 'perfect'.

I see no difference. It is an uncommon form. Note that the original text should read 'pursue perfection' (no article).
