What is this assumption based on?  Certainly not scientific research.  IE
who has proven that the game is a draw.

And the question was about _one_ "perfect player".  Not two.  If there is just
one, his rating will continually rise over time and since he never loses, it
has no real upper bound.

That has nothing to do with "perfect play".  It is assuming the game is
drawn, which is not a given.
