It is not a proof that perfection is impossible.

better searching rules(better pruning and extensions) together with better
evaluation may convince programs to find always the best move.

You do not need to search everything to the end of the game in order to do it
and the question how many plies you need to search is dependent on the
evaluation and on the extensions and the pruning rules.
