Michael and Jana learn in a chemical, instinctual way.  They do not require "the foolishness" to be beaten out of them.  They are already perfect.  Though Michael would argue that "no human is perfect," and as a matter of fact Matt just found a very old piece of pie in Michael's backpack.

They are perfect.
